Plot introduction. In the novel, the cities and regions are each ruled by their own gods. I've often enjoyed Turtledove's non-alternate history stories including the Krispos series, Between the Rivers, the Darkness series, and my all-time favorite: Household Gods, co-written with Judith Tarr. I'm happy to include TCTSD among these favorites. by Harry Turtledove " D. Paul Angel May 17th, at

Harry Turtledove's work has certain characteristic strengths -- solid characterization, realistic motivations, good description, and fast-paced action. BETWEEN THE RIVERS adds a witty, intriguing look at the Bronze Age in a world much like ancient Sumeria, but one where the gods are very real. Another alternate-world yarn from an author who specializes in historical might-have-beens (How Few Remain, , etc.). This time we're in Mesopotamia at the dawn of the Bronze Agebut in Turtledove's version, gods, ghosts, and demons are irksomely, and sometimes alarmingly, real! Young merchant's son Sharur of the city Gibil hopes to marry the lovely and willing Ningal, earning the bride. At the sun-drenched dawn of human history, in the great plain between the two great rivers, are the cities of men. And each city is ruled by its god. But the god of the city of Gibil is lazy and has let the men of his city develop the habit of thinking for themselves.
