This is the first in a series of books by Noah Gordon, concerning healers, shamans, etc. Set against the superstition and splendor of the 11th century, Rob J. Cole struggles to become a physician. Rob was blessed with a gift that allows him to sense when a patient is going to die. He travels to Persia to study at the school of the greatest physician of his time - Avicenna. In order to do so, he disguised himself as a Jew. I highly recommend this book.
