Gideon's Sword

Product Information

One day, a man named Gideon was threshing out wheat in a hidden place, when he saw an angel sitting-under an oak-tree. The angel said to him: "You are a brave man, Gideon, and the Lord is with you. Go out boldly, and save your people from the power of the Midianites." Gideon answered the angel: Time would fail me to tell of Gideon [and others] who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. [38] If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know that we’ve been slowly making our way through the Old Testament, following St. Augustine’s advice: A part of the Midianite army was able to get across the river, and to continue its flight toward the desert; but Gideon and his brave three hundred men followed closely after them, fought another battle with them, destroyed them utterly, and took their two kings, Zebah and Zalmunna, whom he killed. After this great victory the Israelites were freed forever from the Midianites. They never again ventured to leave their home in the desert to make war on the tribes of Israel. When I was in college I had a writing class with a famous author. In it he said the worst books had revenge as a plot and one should never do that. I disagreed in my head because I love novels & films with revenge as a central point.

Of course this entire tidbit occurs and is solved within the first 11 chapters then moves onto an entirely different story. So all of that, it was just prologue...you know for the REAL story. Take some super mumbo jumbo government engineering company + super secret weapon that needs to be obtained -> The need for Gideon to be involved. Why is that? Because Gideon has a fatal disease and of course must do this to get money to live the rest of his short life in comfort and he is the only one with the unique skill set to pull it off! Are you freaking kidding me? Seriously. Not amused. Now that Gideon has fulfilled the goal he’s spent the last decade devising, he is in limbo, wondering what’s next in life. He is recruited by Eli Glinn, who works for an organization called Effective Engineering Solutions, to carry out a sensitive mission. EES wants Gideon to intercept a Chinese scientist who is defecting to the United States. The scientist carries top secret information that could be important to the U.S. government. They believe this is information on the development of a new weapon. Gideon has perfected many arts over the years and they believe he is just the man for the job. Yes boys and girls we will use our new word to discuss the book in question. In this book a little boy sees his daddy shot. After this the boy's mommy changes and isn't a very good mommy anymore. His mommy began to do something called "chain smoking" and she also began to drink a lot of beverages with "alcohol" in them. Do you know what that isPero aún así me ha gustado mucho. Me ha parecido un libro entretenido que engancha porque pasa muchas cosas. Nada me parecía de relleno. Y las partes que podían ser algo más lentas eran necesarias .

Well the mommy, who hadn't been a very good mommy, told the boy he had to get "revenge" on the bad man who was behind the killing of the boy's daddy.

Publication Order of Gideon Crew Books

Gideon falls hard and fast for Cytherea the First, who is pretending to be Dulcinea Septimus. Beautiful, delicate, and full of lively mischief, Cytherea makes Gideon feel wanted and needed in a way she has never felt on the Ninth. In Cytherea, she finds a necromancer she could willingly serve-- she is simply unaware that is all under false pretenses. This is the first book by these authors that I’ve experienced. This one was on audio at my library, so I took the opportunity to read it.
