>Easily your best shot. Boring as hell, from the sound of it, but real potential for a NY Times bestseller
I actually was going to do this second, and I looked far and wide and there's not much historical fiction in the setting. The political drama and conspiracy in basically the world's first empire is fascinating and fairly well-documented. I mainly focus on the Jewish historians putting their history back together, but they begin to share the perspective that the Persians and Samaritans had since 800 BC. I guess it's boring by virtue of not being scifi, but I personally find the climax to be a painful epiphany that is overlooked too often. It's not even so much about Jews to me than it is to help people reflect on what heritage really means.
