Written in secret so as not to incite criticism about his
controversial discoveries, this novel from the late Zecharia
Sitchin brings to life the key themes of his bestseller The 12th
Planet. The story begins in London as Astra arrives at the British
Museum's opening for their new Gilgamesh exhibit. There she meets a
handsome stranger who knows secrets about her that no stranger
should know, including the source of the unusual scar on her hand.
Taking her to his apartment, he reveals that she is descended from
the goddess Ishtar and that he is the modern-day avatar of
Gilgamesh seeking to claim the eternal life Ishtar denied him so
long ago. Reenacting their sacred sex ritual from eons ago, they
find themselves transported to ancient Sumer as Gilgamesh and
Ishtar, where he is at last able to continue his quest for
immortality. But as Gilgamesh fulfills his sacred duties with
Ishtar, something goes awry and the Oracle of Anu will not renew
its blessing upon his kingship. Following the direction of his
mother, the Anunnaki goddess Ninsun--the source of his partial
divinity--Gilgamesh flees the city for the Anunnaki forbidden zone
in search of a way to the planet Nibiru and eternal life. Travel
alongside Gilgamesh and his immortal companion Enkidu as they
escape the fate pronounced by the oracle, discover a Tablet of
Destiny meant for Ishtar, fight off Marduk's raiders, and foil the
plot of the high priest, Gilgamesh's half-brother who is seeking
Gilgamesh's crown for himself. Retelling the Epic of Gilgamesh in
the context of his discoveries about the Anunnaki, Zecharia Sitchin
weaves a tale of ancient ceremony, accidental betrayal, gods among
men, interplanetary travel, and a quest for immortality spanning
millennia.
