Goliath

Alistair Forrest

What really happened before the religious scribes got their hands on the story of David and Goliath? Something like this perhaps…


Beth Lechem, Judah, 3000 years ago. A young shepherd runs away from his beastly half brothers. He is recruited to spy on a neighbouring nation with newtech weapons and a cadre of fearsome warriors, but he’s betrayed and pitched into an arena to fight a terrifying bull-headed colossus.

There have been several edits since this (incomplete) upload and now GOLIATH is available at Amazon Kindle Store. Enjoy!

Richard, this is racy and gripping. I can see why you've had success so far with agents and film. Right up Hollywood's street I'm sure. For seeing the opportunity and having the talent to write this, backed. Alistair (Goliath). view book

Bob this is pacy, intriguing and engaging. Your style is slick, great attention to detail. Backed. And good luck, you deserve it. Alistair (Goliath) view book
