Two thousand years ago, a Persian general and his seneschal march through the dunes, leaving behind rivers of blood.

In 2011, the dark side of NATO’s presence in Iraq pushes a local woman to flee into the night, clutching a golden vase to her chest.

Fast forward to today, where American archaeologist Diane Ryan discovers a mass grave in the hot sands of Syria. After calling English historian Geoff Symons for help with the dig, the two unearth an ancient clay plate.

Discover how the timeframes intertwine, how echoes of the past reach the present, and in the end - who will reach the gold statue of God Marduk?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

It will be fair to say that Sonador Snow's writing career started when he was about two! At about that age his mother 'crippled' him for life with a vivid fantasy after starting to read to him books like 'The Hobbit' and 'Lord of the Rings' every night.

Once Sonador started reading himself there was no stopping him and he soon turned into part of the furniture at his local library. The first stories Sonador created himself are long lost now. In his teenage years he started entertaining his annoying little sister on the back seat of their family vehicle with fairy tales he was inventing on the go. Nothing is left of them and all he can remember is that there was a rabbit, a prince and a naughty tortoise. He can't tell if the stories were good or not, but the fact was that his sister kept quiet during the long journeys and sat listening to him.

After battling his way through all the ranks of education and trying to build 'a happy' life following all the rules of the rat race for years he finally decided that it was about time to give up the impossible and start living miserably but doing what he likes most - writing and reading. Sonador spent several years ghost writing novels for others and eventually he decided to try and write one himself. "Quest for Babylon's Soul" is hardly a classic, but if you like Indiana Jones and all masters of the suspense genre you might like this one too.

He is dying to hear your opinion and criticisms which you can bombard him with directly on sonador.snow@mail.com For a general chat or to read some of his 'sagacious' thoughts you can always look for him on Twitter or Facebook, where he is known to be hanging around from time to time with a glass of wine and a pile of cheese on top of the keyboard. He will be very happy if you join him!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story, disappointing editing.

I enjoyed the storyline, the history and the characters. Unfortunately the editing missed many grammatical and linguistic errors. At times the flow of the story was clumsy.

I loved the back and forth between times, giving us some story on the archeological finds. We always seem to enjoy a dig more, if we know there's a little pain and anguish behind it; and, boy, has this got plenty! I was too immersed in the story to notice the errors others did... (This book was actually read on 11/28/18)

Predictable, amateurish, not very original. Bad research, bad and confusing writing style. It's one of those books where summary (probably written by someone else) is better than the main content. Don't waste your money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the effort
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2016

The story was OK. It held my interest. However, the lack of proper grammar, verb tense and spelling drove me absolutely nuts! I found myself spending so much time putting the spelling and punctuation in order that it became hard to follow the story line. I will not waste my time with any more stories by this author. I really do not think that English is the author's first language.

Great story. However, writing was terrible. Very disjointed sentences. Three time lines were not hard to follow at all. Just beware of the poorly written sentences.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story, poor editing
Reviewed in Australia on July 10, 2017

The plot is exciting and the story pretty well executed, and I guess the archeological and historical elements are well- researched. (I know nothing of the era). The characterisation is a little thin but not really below the usual level for an action-driven book. The high potential of this book makes it all the more sad that the author did not employ an editor. It seems he may be of a non-English speaking background, or there may be some other reason he writes so poorly in terms of phraseology, punctuation and grammar. He writes very colloquially and uses many Americanisms that grate on me. He also uses too few commas, and too many convoluted or run-on sentences etc. All of that is irritating enough, but really even foreign language authors can use spell-checker and grammar-checker for English versions of their work to ensure they spell the 'Louvre' correctly, or use 'off' when required instead of 'of', or use the correct preposition and so on. So, overall, my enjoyment was greatly reduced by the sloppy editing. I am sorry to say I constantly winced at the writing even during gripping passages.

I would encourage the author to keep writing, because he does have great story-telling ability. But please, please improve the editing.

The story line was good but the writing was not up to par. I have trouble believing a Persian general saying "yep" and calling children "kids".

5.0 out of 5 stars but has said "I am not one for reading a book I cannot easily put down
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 8, 2015

I am posting this review on behalf of my wife, as I passed the book to her when it arrived - I already have 2 others on the go. She is fond of reading in "snatches" for a few minutes here and there, but has said
"I am not one for reading a book I cannot easily put down. But this one was so captivating, I couldn't put it down.
The inter-twining of 3 different time-frames kept me riveted.
The author has also interjected the odd "note" that amplified the interest by making you use your imagination - and made me smile.
I would recommend this book to any reader. It is captivating and you really cannot put it down."
