In this historical fiction the birth of Moses, an early revolutionary figure, is presented as ambiguous, possibly born an Egyptian prince or a Hebrew slave. The time in which he lives is one of tribal beliefs and superstitions. Moses dedicates himself to uplifting a slave people, the Hebrews. He does this believing in the necessity to personify a God and create the Ten Commandments. This would be the means to building a new society based on a structure of law and justice. It is a story of epic dimensions describing the struggle of people born to slavery accepting these new concepts. This is an era of rough outcomes, chaotic results and territorial ambitions. It also describes Moses' final dilemma and rejection by the very people he strives to help. We relive the saga of his extreme efforts to bring about civil order and humane interaction while he faces his own survival.The challenges Moses encounters involve deceit as well as murder within the difficulties of establishing a lasting ethical code.
