“I loved the plot of this book. I had never read a science fiction novel with an indigenous slant. The story brought to life the traditions, resilience, and wisdom of the peoples of ancient Mesopotamia. I liked how beings from a different world and galaxy came to Earth and how the lone survivor assimilated into an ancient Sumerian village.

In a way, the ancient Akkadian astronaut’s long-ago landing helped form a future bond between his successors and modern Earthlings, giving both civilizations a better chance of having a future. The book’s seamless flow carried the story winding through time and space. Each chapter pulled me forward, and the technical details fed my engineering side.

I stayed interested throughout the book. The characters were compelling with relatable motivations, keeping my interest. The subplots included high-stakes twists and well-timed revelations that helped maintain suspense and surprise. The vivid world-building set a base, while a balance of intrigue, action, humor, and moments of emotion kept me invested in the characters and their stories. Above all, a straightforward and engaging narrative by Tahbral, the Akkadian historian, tied these elements together, making the story easy to follow. It was a good read, and I hope there is a sequel.”

Good luck,
