The destinies of Kate, a prestigious Assyriologist, and Mannu, a doctor from the 7th century BC, will be intertwined by their desire to help a young concubine of King Ashurbanipal.
This novel undoubtedly has everything it takes to win over any reader. It has captivated me from the very beginning with its interesting characters and a story that combines time travel, history, action, and romance.

A brilliant read concerning a physician, Mannu, who travels through time to find a cure for the King's concubine Bel, where he meets Kate, who comes from modern day London.
It was a good story with well drawn characters and I highly recommend. An outstanding time travel novel.

This was so well written as a historical mystery novel, I enjoyed the suspenseful atmosphere and how the plot was used to create something that I enjoyed a lot. The characters had that feel that I was looking for and glad was so well in the mystery genre. Glenn Cooper has a great writing style and enjoyed that I read this.
