What if you tried to escape from real life for the summer by working on an archaeological dig in Israel?

What if you met a great guy in Jerusalem who happened to be a world-famous theoretical physicist working on a crazy idea to build a wormhole that might make time-travel possible ... someday?

What if he had a devious colleague building a wormhole right now -- who decided to use YOU as the guinea pig -- so he'd know if it was safe to go through?

What if he had a gun and a plan to hunt and kill the apostle Paul?

Transgression is about learning to stand up for yourself when you just wanted to be let alone. It's about making hard decisions. It's about asking whether life has meaning and whether God exists -- and becoming a badass fighter for justice while you wait for answers.

Transgression is a geeky romantic suspense time-travel adventure that takes you on a vacation to first-century Israel, shortly before the catastrophic Jewish revolt that ended with the burning of Jerusalem.

Transgression was originally published in 2000 and won a Christy Award in the Futuristic Fiction category.

Transgression is the first novel in the City of God series. The other two books in this series are Premonition and Retribution.
