Add your own review for this title.
The historical background has been very well researched, for a non-easy to understand hotpot of cultures and religions. Written in a very easy way to understand, even for the non knowledgeable reader. It's as if the reader can feel how much the writer loves his job.
I was positively shocked when I realized that conceps as complex "Melammu" and "Me" are treated in this book.
I can't wait to gather a group and start running a campaign.
Thanks Chris, thanks Paul! You made this old man a very happy one.
