Peter Thornton doesn't believe in God. Or rather, he doesn't believe in one God. All paths are valid. This is what he teaches his university students. One evening he ventures to his colleague's office in the archaeology department and touches an artifact recently discovered from ancient Babylon. Now he is in Babylon, three thousand years back in time. Somehow he knows the language-and the people know him as Rim-Sin, sorcerer in high priest to the gods of Babylon. The moment he arrives he is accused of murder-a murder Rim-Sin committed-and he must run for his life. Against the backdrop of Nebuchadnezzar's court, he and rival sorcerers vie with Beltshazzar, the Jewish upstart, for the king's favor. Will he get back home?
T.L. Higley writes from a view that readeras dont often get to see. Everyone knows the story of Daniel yet we don't often get to here about what else went on in the court of Nebuchadnezzar. This story held my attention and through in a couple of surprises as well. I would recommend this story to any reader who loves the Old Testament.
