"[Silverberg] is a master." --Robert Jordan

"[Silverberg is] the John Updike of science fiction." --The New York Times Book Review"No matter if Silverberg is dealing with material that is practically straight fiction, or going way into the future . . . his is the hand of a master of his craft and imagination." --Los Angeles Times"Robert Silverberg is our best . . . Time and time again he has expanded the parameters of science fiction." --The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction

Reseña del editor:

A thrilling retelling of the Epic of Gilgamesh, by one of the greatest storytellers of his generation Gilgamesh's appetite for wine, women, and warfare is insatiable. As the King of Uruk, he oppresses his people and burdens his city. To temper his excesses, the gods create Enkidu, Gilgamesh's equal, who becomes his greatest friend. Together they wander the kingdom as brothers, conquering demons until a cruel twist changes Gilgamesh's path forever. Two parts god and one part man, Gilgamesh is mortal-a fate he now resolves to overcome, no matter what the price. And so he embarks on another journey, in pursuit of vengeance and the ultimate prize for a mortal king: eternal life.
