Belshazzar

A hush falls over the banquet hall as the shadow of prophecy looms above ancient Babylon, where power and peril entwine within the palace walls. Amid the flicker of oil lamps and the silent watch of Mesopotamian gods, the fate of an empire teeters on the edge of a single night. In this masterful work of biblical historical fiction, the grandeur and turbulence of the Old Testament era are brought to life with striking immediacy, immersing readers in a world where the ambitions of kings and the whispers of ancient prophecy shape destinies.Set against the backdrop of the ancient Middle East, the narrative weaves through the splendour and intrigue of royal courts, where every gesture and glance carries the weight of political manoeuvre and personal survival. The novel’s Mesopotamian setting is rendered with precision and atmosphere, conjuring the lost civilisations of the past and the enigmatic figures who ruled them. The story unfolds with a sense of gathering tension, as ancient royalty grapples with forces both mortal and divine, and the spectre of downfall haunts the corridors of power.With its deft blend of palace intrigue and historical adventure, this novel stands as a testament to the enduring fascination of ancient civilisation. The interplay of prophecy and fate, ambition and downfall, creates a reading experience that is as gripping as it is evocative. Enthusiasts of ancient Babylon novels and those drawn to the drama of biblical king fiction will find themselves transported to a time when the stakes were nothing less than the survival of empires. Collectors and classic-library aficionados alike will appreciate the meticulous restoration and the opportunity to revisit a work that captures the spirit and spectacle of a vanished world.This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions.
