(Episode 22) King of the Harem Heaven chapter 9. Narrated by Scott M. Thaler.
BACK COVER
Some people said he was mad, some believed he was a Holy Man - but many knew he was a black hearted opportunist and a religious charlatan the like of which the world has never seen.
This was a man who created and reigned over an absolute monarchy (with the greatest democracy in the world), now threatening his "slaves" with death, now promising eternal salvation, now banishing to a loneliest island those who refused to bend to his will.
This was Ben Purnell, King of the House of David - libertine, ravisher of teen-age virgins and conman supreme - who parlayed a self-appointed Messiah-hood into a Ten-Million-dollar empire and lived on a lavish scale unrivaled by anything out of The Arabian Nights.
