They didn’t believe it was possible…

But the ring proved otherwise.

Dan, an American student, visits in Israel together with his new girlfriend, Melanie.

It doesn’t take long and Melanie, who was skeptical about the stories Dan told her regarding his ring, is exposed to its magical powers.

Following the remarkable discovery, the young couple begins to experience tumultuous events led by Arthur, a young Spaniard, whom Dan met during his previous visit to the Holy Land. Arthur takes them on a marvelous journey, following the footsteps of the lost ten tribes of Ancient Israel.

Together they discover a planet of abundance and secrets that few are privy to, but is everything perfect in the “New World”?

From the Author

The amazing story of the Jewish people and its miraculous history has been the bedrock of my dreams since the dawn of my childhood, but there is one event that has been lost in the mist of time, the greatest catastrophe ever to befall the Jewish people, more terrible than the Holocaust of World War II. The colossal disaster I refer to occurred approximately seven hundred and fifty years BCE: the massive dispersion and exile of ten of the twelve tribes of Israel. No one knows where they vanished in our little world. Legend has it that they went beyond the Sambatyon River. Was there indeed such a river? The Jewish people, laden with a multitude of stories and profound experiences, have never made an organized attempt to search for the lost tribes or even gain a glimpse as to their fate. After much thought, effort and methodical research, I have uncovered clues that indicate the path taken by the Ten Lost Tribes. I have also come to understand why it is they will never return to their origins...

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

The life of Yossi Soika took root in the little neighborhood of “farm worker” huts near the town of Afula in 1949, the first year of the establishment of the Jewish state in the Land of Israel. Life among the fields and orchards was fertile ground for his vibrant and varied activities.

After completing his military service, he went on to study electricity. His father, who was a master electrician, taught him the trade and prepared him for his job as manager of electrical work, leading large teams in building projects (new factories under construction).

Along with this work, Yosef took up sculpting in wood, bronze and ceramics. His sculptures are styled in figurative symbolism and have been exhibited in several venues throughout the country.

His first book, “The Secret of the Second World,” was published in Hebrew in 1998. He has written numerous yet unpublished works and is now completing work on a third book. His great vision is to change the thinking of the inhabitants on the earth, this blue-green wonderland of a planet that is their home and the hearth of their offspring. The earth - a gem that is gradually waning, to the dismay and sorrow of many.

It was an epic fantasy journey - I literally held my breath reading about the most imaginative genetically engineered creatures and magical portals inspired by ancient Jewish history to make past, present, and future all blend seamlessly together.

Not sure where the translation of the book came from but it's so poor that the book isn't readable. What a shame as the concept story was interesting. Glad it was free.

A well-crafted fantasy fiction.

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2019

This book starts good but ends great and this is one book I didn’t want to end. The writing style was mesmerizing. The story-line and plot of Following the Footsteps of the Lost Tribes was amazing. From beginning to end, the author holds the reader’s interest.

Author Yossi Soika weaves a well-crafted fantasy fiction. The story had every element a good story should have. A solid and captivating plot, attention to detail, but best of all fleshed out, well-written and well-rounded character development. There’s plenty of imagery in the writing style that makes you feel like you are right there in the story, and that’s something I really look for in a good book.

The book description gives a sneak preview: ‘Dan, an American student, visits in Israel together with his new girlfriend, Melanie.

It doesn’t take long and Melanie, who was skeptical about the stories Dan told her regarding his ring, is exposed to its magical powers.

Following the remarkable discovery, the young couple begins to experience tumultuous events led by Arthur, a young Spaniard, whom Dan met during his previous visit to the Holy Land. Arthur takes them on a marvelous journey, following the footsteps of the lost ten tribes of Ancient Israel.

Together they discover a planet of abundance and secrets that few are privy to, but is everything perfect in the “New World”?’

Captivating and commendable, this work had me immersed from the beginning. It’s a unique and imaginative fiction interwoven with Biblical history. The story flowed from scene to scene with ease, and the author shows exceptional ability when it comes to storytelling. There are plenty of fanciful moments in this page turner that will take the reader on a truly enchanting and fascinating journey!

I’ll certainly be looking forward to reading more from Yossi Soika in the future. I would have no hesitation in recommending this book. It also has a distinctly cinematic feel to it and see no reason why it couldn’t be adapted for the Silver Screen. A well-deserved five stars from me.

For Those Who Needs Great Read

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2019

Usually, the beginning of the book is intriguing or not, and defines will you read it or not. Or give it a try until you gave up. Usually, the reason you continue reading is the plot, something that catches you and doesn't let you go. Usually, it is the place, the main character, some action.
But in this case, the thing what made me read this book was the way it is written. The dialogs are so skillfully placed and they are so real (many authors have problem with dialogues and it literary kills the book) that I continued reading enjoying in reality of the world author was able to make for the reader.
The whole story wouldn't be so intriguing and worthwhile reading it there was no such splendid interaction between characters. Because of that, the whole story becomes more real and more interesting. The ring and its journey, the adventures and new worlds, the way how we perceive them, wouldn't be the same.

A wonderful mix of fantasy and history

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2019

I like reading many different genres, but always when I need a bit of a break from the world I turn to fantasy. This book was perfect to dive into, and I was completely hooked after a few chapters of getting to know the characters. What I liked the most about this story was how unpredictable it was, I really couldn't tell what would happen on the next page, and the suspense was killing me. I’m also a bit of a history nerd, so the fact that this book was partly based on historical events - Israel's history - was very interesting. Even though it was fantasy I was still understanding more about Jewish history, and that just made me want to keep reading to see what would happen. Strongly recommend this book to anyone who would like a break from reality.
