Beskrivelse
"a mesmerizing good read"
An epic adventure based on the most mysterious figure in the Bible. Love. War. And a civilization lost in the mists of time.His life spanned 600 years. He survived the massively violent antediluvian world. He lived through Noah's Flood. He saw the Tower of Babel, the very first Chinese dynasty, the birth of ancient Egypt, and the death Abraham. He participated in the most tumultuous events in world history. But Scripture leaves gaping holes in the historical narrative, giving little more than his genealogy. The Shem Chronicles fleshes out the epic story of Shem's life with an imagination filtered through and saturated in the Bible. Call it a Biblical Fable, with the antediluvian world as a kind of Middle Earth.
Author's Note
I call this a Biblical fable*, but it does not follow that you must be religious in order to enjoy it. Some of the best tales are what I call What If. What If there was a place called Middle Earth, and a Dark Lord who forged Rings of Power? What would that world be like? What If four children went through a wardrobe into a land of talking animals and mythical creatures ruled by an evil White Witch? What If there was a school for young wizards? What If there was an evil galactic Empire a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away? So dear Reader, whether religious or not, sit back, suspend your disbelief and consider. What If there was a time before a great global flood when humans lived many hundreds of years, where fallen angels and evil Nephilim terrorized the children of men? What would it have been like?
*fable: a legendary story of supernatural happenings; a narration intended to enforce a useful truth -- Merriam-Webster
