A thrilling retelling of the Epic of Gilgamesh, by one of the
greatest storytellers of his generation Gilgamesh's appetite for
wine, women, and warfare is insatiable. As the King of Uruk, he
oppresses his people and burdens his city. To temper his excesses,
the gods create Enkidu, Gilgamesh's equal, who becomes his greatest
friend. Together they wander the kingdom as brothers, conquering
demons until a cruel twist changes Gilgamesh's path forever. Two
parts god and one part man, Gilgamesh is mortal-a fate he now
resolves to overcome, no matter what the price. And so he embarks
on another journey, in pursuit of vengeance and the ultimate prize
for a mortal king: eternal life.
