The ancient Gods of Mesopotamia are back!
A PACK OF TURTLE-EATING SCORPION MEN! Scimitar-throwing Rock-men!! A legion of Grunt-speaking giants from the primordial island of Dilmun!!!
They have joined the Underworld Alliance of the Former Head of the Seven Who Decree Fate (LORD ENLIL). They ride the currents of His tyrannous South Wind out from the “Chamber of the Seven Sages” and the “Place of the Sinking Ship.” Their mission: to steal the Water Clock of Time and destroy the fifteen-year-old SIMON REID (“Simanu”), a heavenly Code planted in Time.
However, Simanu is in the company of the three-and-a-half-foot-tall vizier to the Lord of Moon, an Annunaku lord that can “moonerang” across the heavens and dispatch whirlwinds of cuneiform spells with his Stylus of Night. His name is IKKIBU, and unless you want a face full of moon-dust, you had better get the Kur out of here!
Ikkibu’s action-packed scenes and magical dialogue will appeal to enthusiasts of J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, Christopher Paolini, and Eoin Colfer. Ninety percent of the book’s characters, imagery, and cosmology find origin in the literature and iconography of ancient Babylonia (modern day Iraq), thus defining it as the first modern literary epic of the ancient Mesopotamian pantheon ever written.
