Three Wise Men came from the East for the infant Jesus in The New
Testament. Three brave companions accompany the Buddha in the Chinese
classic A Journey to the West. Could they have been the same three?
Guided by a star, three strange companions arrive in the barbarous land
of Judea to seek a newborn child - a possible messiah to some, and the
reincarnation of the Budda to others.
When the child's life is threatened, his family and new guardians escape
to Egypt, returning years later, to a Jewish land on the cusp of
annihilation by the Roman Empire. Once a general in the Judean army, now
a Roman agent, Josephus Flavius is sent by Caesar back to his homeland
to observe and report on the actions of the troubling young man now
preaching sedition in the Galilee - a boy with the unsettling powers of
kung-fu...
Their lives would collide in a cataclysmic confrontation between Romans
and Jews, between empire and rebels - and change the world forever...
