description: There is a book in the Bible where Gods name is nowhere to be found: Esther. Some say it was because God withheld his presence for a time others say he was secretly working behind the scenes to accomplish his purposes. There was another time that God was hidden: In the period after the Great Flood before Abraham. Gilgamesh Immortal is a story of that time period. Gilgamesh Immortal tells a tale of the greatest king of ancient Mesopotamia shortly after the Flood the mighty ruler Gilgamesh king of Uruk. He is a giant born of god and man who oppresses his people for his own power and glory. But when a Wild Man named Enkidu comes to town he is the only one mighty enough to stand up to Gilgamesh and put him in his place. Enkidus simple but strong character impresses Gilgamesh and the two become best of friends. But Gilgamesh longs for immortality so they embark on a quest for eternal life that takes them from a giants forest to the mountain of the gods to the Path of the Sun in the Underworld and ultimately to a distant magical island to find the one man granted divine favor during the flood: Noah.Gilgamesh Immortal is an adaptation of the oldest written hero story in history. And yet it is timeless in its universal themes of friendship courage purpose the pursuit of immortality and the meaning of life.Chronicles of the Nephilim is written in the mythic genre of The Lord of the Rings and Narnia blending fantasy and mythopoeia with history to retell the Biblical narrative with a fresh perspective while staying true to the original spirit of the story.
