Publisher's Summary
William Barrow carries a dark secret. A very dark secret.
An archivist for the Smithsonian Institute and also a part-time operative for the CIA, no one would ever suspect the handsome "thirty-ish" William is in fact the most reviled human being to ever walk the Earth. His infectious warmth and sense of humor make such an assertion especially hard to believe.
But long ago, William Barrow had another name...one that is synonymous with shame and betrayal: Judas Iscariot.
Forced to walk the earth as a cursed immortal, William/Judas is on a quest to reclaim the 30 silver shekels paid to him in exchange for Jesus Christ. Twenty-one coins have now been recovered-thanks in large part to the help from his latest son, the esteemed Georgetown University history professor Alistair Barrow.
Ever hopeful the complete coin collection will buy him a full pardon from God and end his banishment from heaven, William plans a visit to a remote village deep within Iran's Alborz Mountains to retrieve "silver coin number 22". But the CIA has a different objective for this trip, one that pits both father and son against an unscrupulous Russian billionaire searching for something else that's just as precious within the ancient mountains of Iran...something that threatens peace in the modern world if William and Alistair fail to reach it first.

"A Lovely Listen!"
Would you consider the audio edition of Plague of Coins to be better than the print version?I'd say they are well-matched, and both have tons to offer. I did enjoy being able to close my eyes and visualize it!
What other book might you compare Plague of Coins to and why?There's nothing like it I've read (or listened to) to date. A wonderfully unique concept by J.R. Rain, and fleshed out, built upon by Aiden James. It's one I'll be listening to again and again.
Which character – as performed by Derek Perkins – was your favorite?Too hard to choose! If I had to, I'd say Alistair, although his lines are much less than those of William/Judas. The accents were wonderfully done, and each character has its own unique voice- something you don't always find in an audio book.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?I laughed out loud several times throughout it, especially the... creative profanity. And I always get a kick out of sarcasm, which this book has plenty of.
Any additional comments?I cannot wait for Reign of Coins and Destiny of Coins to hit the market- I am looking forward to downloading them as well!

"Engrossing and worthwhile"
What did you love best about Plague of Coins?The very precept of the story is , at it's very core, totally unrealistic, and yet very early on the listener can buy into the concept, and the story rolls on from there.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Plague of Coins?Too short a story to give anything away.
Which scene was your favorite?The final resolution is compelling.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?Again, the resolution is well crafted and thoughtful.
Any additional comments?Short, sweet and smacks of sequels to come.
