About This Book

Cadiz, the Atlantean King of a colony in Iberia falls in love with Otonia, the daughter of King Erechtheus of Athens. But Erechtheus has secretly promised Otonia to Butes, a cousin and archon of religion. Not paying attention to the quest of Jason which just ended Erechtheus sends Cadiz on a quest to spy on the ultra-paranoid Assyrians and their new weapons: the war chariot and the composite bow. Cadiz, with Hercules and friends in tow journeys to Asia. Meeting King Shalmaneser means his death but how else will Cadiz learn of these new and possibly revolutionary weapons? Will Cadiz make it back to Thrace, where his cousin is king, when the Athenians attack?
PS: The novel (approx. 86.000 words) is followed by Notes to the Reader II (6,650 words) then short essays in the Afterword (9,200 words) of which there are four.
The Notes to the Reader II explain aspects of historicity such as the tobacco and cocaine found the mummies of the New Kingdom of Egypt…or the southwestern European DNA found in Native Americans introduced 3,000 years ago from a study by an international team of geneticists.
