THE SPEAR of LEPANTO

The Spear of Lepanto Book One is award-winning non-fiction writer Leon J. Radomile's first novel.  It is an epic two-part tale of adventure, romance, and heroism, vividly bringing the distant past to life.  Set in the 16th century, Radomile's story is about a quest for an enigmatic relic (the Spear of Longinus) that Pope Pius V believes will decide the fate of Christian Europe.  Only a brokered alliance forced by the Holy See between Spain and Venice can give Europe a fighting chance against the invincible Ottoman Turks, who plan to seize Rome as a stepping-stone for total domination.  This novel will interest a wide audience of readers from history buffs and romantics to those who enjoy adventure and mystery.
