Rating:  - Absolute best historical fiction writer of all times . . .
I love historical fiction (the kind with a real story, not the smutty kind) and no one does it better than Thomas Costain.
The Silver Chalice is a fascinating story of the East in the century after Christ and offers a glimpse into the lives of historical figures as viewed by the fictional main characters.

The story of how he meets Luke, the great physician, Joseph of Arimathea, and many other bibical characters and their influence on his life is astounding. ... Read More
