Lion of Ishtar

By: Schenk, Guido

Mesopotamia, 3rd millennium BC For generations, Akkad has been at war with the neighboring realm of Subartu. Behind the two Mesopotamian powers stand the sun god Marduk in Akkad, while Ishtar, goddess of the night, love, and war, reigns in Subartu. The thunder god Addad exploits their never-ending, unwinnable war to his own ends. Subartu s Queen Semiramis travels in secret deep into hostile Akkad to win over King Sargon and form an alliance to defend the holy city of Nineveh from an impending attack by the thunder god. But even before Semiramis can offer her alliance to the Akkadians, the sinister helpers of the thunder god strike. A race against time begins, threatening to end in the subjugation of all mankind.
