FINDING JESUS is the third time travel adventure of chrononauts Skypilot Sewell and Zachary Burling. This time, they journey with the scientist Alim to ancient Galilee in search of Jesus Christ to prove his existence. And to confirm his family lineage; they carry with them a DNA kit, to ostensibly get a sample. An overwhelming task by itself, but they may have underestimated the influence of the Roman Empire at that time. Zachary is kidnapped by the Roman Legion and forced to become a trainee, a tirone. He learns how hard, and how fleeting, life can be for a soldier in a marching camp; a hard life, but one that many made by choice. Kaleidoscopic, the story is set on a background of sea blue and blood red, the latter being the colour of Mars, the Roman God of War. Throw in the oily silver of tilapia, or St. Peter's fish, taken from the Sea of Galilee and the rich brown of garum and you have the basic palette used to paint the story.
The story seems to fit with recent global events. The tragedy of the pandemic may be offset, somewhat, by a healing process that includes a viral appreciation of the goodness in people and life's fragile essence. And, perhaps of a higher being. Will the chrononauts meet Jesus? Will they get a sample of his DNA? Will they rescue Zac from the clutches of the Roman Legion? And eww...did they really wash their clothes in urine?
