Steven Veerapen2700 B.C.Sumer.Uruk8217sgrowing
supremacy over Sumer is threatened when its main
levee collapses and a flood destroys the Ziggurat
of Inanna and its intricate system of canals.
Uruk8217spriest- king, The En, is forced to
call on the city8217sarmy to help rebuild the
structures before the Euphrates River rises
again.Zag, the chief scribe of Uruk8217smilitary
leader, is tasked with organizing the
construction effort. But Zag, a widower with a
drinking problem, is distracted. Unlike the great
mass of the population, Zag does not believe the
temple8217sclaim that the flood was caused by
the gods alone. He vows to uncover the
truth.Zag8217ssuspicions seem to be confirmed
when he encounters Shulgi, an unscrupulous
character from his past, who claims he was paid
to take bricks from the levee by a man who has
since disappeared.In pursuit of this missing
person, Zag unearths the secrets of both the
temple and the military, landing him in the
middle of their growing, dangerous rivalry.To
help him navigate this danger, Zag works in
conjunction with other scribes and artisans to
determine who stood to gain from the
disaster.Time soon becomes an enemy too as Zag
must determine who sabotaged the levee - before
the city of Uruk is destroyed in the next
flood.Greg
