One of her latest books, Jerusalem - the City of God, is a sweeping epic archaeological novel that weaves intrigue and inspiration into the hauntingly beautiful cityscape of the Holy City. The Priest is her first contemporary novel, a story of international intrigue regarding the Israeli efforts to rebuild their ancient temple and the forces that conspire against their dream. The Oracle is the companion volume to The Priest, following the further adventures of hero David Rothmeyer, a young archaeologist, and his friends. Gabriel - The War in Heaven is the first in a new series (Gabriel - God's Hero) the adventures of the archangels as they tell the story of redemption across time and space. Compared to works of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, Traylor's approach is delightful for young and old.
