Tablet of Destinies:

by Martyn Arnold

Following her rescue from Iraq, beautiful historian Maggie Gray has returned to the British Museum determined that the death of her mentor, Professor Clive Ashbourne, will not be in vain. Their discovery of an ancient ziggurat deep in the heart of the Zagros Mountains threatens to rewrite history. All the evidence points to the existence of a civilisation seemingly way in advance of its time and controlled, through fear, by an intelligent race of giants. Moreover, there is the real possibility that these extraterrestrials may have mated with the indigenous population leading to the existence of living descendents who await the return of their ancestors. Key to the power of the gods is an ancient tablet. Maggie’s search for the mythical relic takes her on a journey back through time crossing paths with several major historical figures. Unfortunately, she is not the only one interested in its possession. With the net closing in and time running out, Maggie and Clark race across the barren plateau of Iran in search of possibly the most important and powerful relic the world has ever known. They will have to fight not just for the treasure, but for their lives. Sequel to the Akkadian Dynasty, the Tablet of Destinies is a fascinating blend of fact and fiction and is the second part of an historical fiction series, the Akkadian Chronicles.
