ABOUT THE BOOK!

Tychicus: The Roman Courier is adult, historical fiction, set in the second half of the First Century of the Common Era. Using contemporary dialogue and action, the story traces the adventures of a civilian, Roman courier who lives by the courier’s code: To deliver a commission and survive in the process.

With the help of an African slave, Tychicus escapes from slavery, learns to fight like a Bantu warrior and travels around the Great Sea basin to Egypt. He completes his education under the sponsorship of Pompeius, a naval commander; he avenges the murder of his first love and becomes a courier. A lifetime of travel takes him to the far reaches of the Roman Empire; he experiences profound love and heartbreaking tragedy.

Although Tychicus contains no religious theme, a sub-plot appeals to a religious audience by telling of Tychicus’ encounters with early Christianity and how he helps preserve and circulate letters written by some of the movement’s founders, such as Paul, Luke, and John.
