BelkA of BABYLON

Babylon 589 BC.—BelkA Souash, the high profile envoy of Nebuchadnezzar, is dispatched on a top secret mission to confront the King of Judah with an ultimatum to submit to his overlord, or expect an imminent military attack. At the same time Prime Minister Daniel imposes the equally hazardous mission of rescuing the Sacred Writings from impending destruction.

Intrigue builds up as enemies emerge, including the cunning priestess of the moon god Sin, who plots murder. To complicate matters further BelkA, himself a worshipper of pagan gods, faces questions of faith that connect him to the most fascinating woman he could ever meet. A showdown is inevitable. Will the mission cost him the love of his life?
A daring rescue
A life-changing encounter
A daunting choice: duty or love
A first hint of Bible translation into Aramaic
A haunting reminder of our own era.
