Nahum, a city shrouded in the legacy of Jesus, serves as the backdrop for a groundbreaking chapter in the "Caballo de Troya" series. In this seventh installment, a dramatic shift awaits as an American major journeys through first-century Palestine. Readers are warned—the revelations within these pages are beyond belief. As familiar religious convictions unravel, one might question the very nature of truth versus fiction. This narrative challenges the orthodox, aligning with nothing traditionally recognized. Authored by J. J. Benítez, "Nahum" stands as his fiftieth work, marking three decades since his debut with "Existió otra humanidad." With over six million copies sold, Benítez views success as a mere misunderstanding, prompting him to pen what he considers his finest piece, "Cartas a un idiota." Residing by the sea in Barbate, he dedicates himself to a "revolution" of thought.
