The Rise and Fall of Babylon

SYNOPSIS: In the deserts of the Middle East, the Cradle of Life, where civilization began, there has always been conflict. And there has always been magic and mystery, danger and demons. The djinns exist. Whether in modern Babylon, or a Babylon forgotten by time, passions run strong. Babylon rises from the sand, unexpected, to both entice and devour. And the sands fall from Babylon... Stare with Gabriel as Babylon rises from the pages of myth and history. March through Iraq with Don Bloom and the 3rd Infantry -- and into the remains of Eden. In these two original stories Brian Keene and John Urbancik explore THE RISE AND FALL OF BABYLON. Two novellettes from these two new masters of dark fiction, presented in the old Ace Double-type format... the book has two covers, finish one tale, flip the chapbook over and read the other! Deena Warner has ingeniously created wraparound cover art that ties both stories together.
