Amazon.com 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful 5.0 out of 5 stars Manna from heaven, April 18, 1999 By A Customer This review is from: Moon Goddess: The Queen of Sheba (Mass Market Paperback) In 950 BC Ethiopia, a numbed Princess Makeda wanders among the sea of dead bodies, including her mother, Queen Zenobia, that flood the floor of the courtyard. Makeda has no time to grieve as she is now the Queen of Sheba and must find a way to protect her people and their wealthy lands from the invading tribes who covet them. Her foster uncle sees only one avenue of safety for their people. He suggests that she propose a marriage alliance with the legendary King of Judah Solomon. When Solomon and Makeda meet, they fall in love with each other. Solomon, whose harem is estimated at seven hundred women, has never lost his heart before. However, he knows that though he loves this pagan, his tribe would never accept her as the queen of the Jews. Still, when an unknown assailant tries to kill his beloved, he vows to protect her even though he suspects one of his own as the culprit. MOON GODDESS is a fabulous retelling of the biblical romance between Solomon and Sheba. The story line is fast-paced and filled with a genuine feel for the era. The characters seem genuine without losing or changing what the bible describes of them. Janice L. Dennie demonstrates she is a major talent within the biblical historical fiction sub-genre. Fans who relish a wonderful love tale from out of the Old Testament will want to read this novel and its predecessor (see THE LION OF JUDAH). Both novels contain entertaining, well written, and exciting tales. Anyone who does will be a fan of Ms. Dennie and clamor for an early release of book three, MENELIK THE CONQUERING LION.
