About the book: 2009 / Uruk, a black giant, a mighty warrior, skilled in both swordplay and thievery, must fulfill the cruel will of fate and die , saving a friend. He really has no choice - either die like a cowardly jackal, or lead the fight of the inhabitants of Shinar against the white-skinned, blond-haired Nifilim - invaders who came from the northern reaches of the desert. A dynamic narrative based on ancient Sumerian legends and myths, bloody battles, human sacrifices, thieves' showdowns , heroes and traitors, beautiful women and greedy gods - this is how the cruel world of people appears on the eve of the Flood. The city of Uruk has not yet been founded, Noah has not yet been born and Gilgamesh has not yet come to earth, but human passions have not changed for centuries - the chain of times is indestructible and the black dogs of the desert still thirst for blood.
