In this third and final part of The Commandment Trilogy, two "casualties of life," Zachary, the failed hermit, and Leila, the ostracized nun, travel from the the Nile valley on a final life journey, this time together. Set in exotic but little-known fourth-century A.D. Egypt, their journey sheds a unique light on the early development of Christianity -- both its good and its bad sides.

I wanted to love this story, read great reviews of the author and other books. But I could not get past so many inapprpriate, some confusing, inflections and many mispronunciations. I’ll have to look for a paper copy or wait for a better computer voiced version, or a human narrator.

Such bad computer generated narration
