The third book in Brian Godawa's series is quite interesting for those who know the story of Gilgamesh. His take and expansion of the Gilgamesh story is entertaining because he has brought Enkidu to life in this tale. The adventures and bond of friendship of these two is clearly the focal point of the book and will draw readers into this ancient world. Again like his previous books he has put so much info from the Sumerian tablets into the story. For anyone interested in the Sumerian culture Godawa is brilliant at recreating that world. His depth of knowledge and understanding of the material is astounding. He has made the Gilgamesh epic fit nicely into the overall theme of his Nephilim world. It was difficult to evaluate this book as it was written even better than Enoch. A few will complain about the farting comments with Humbaba who guards the Cedar Forest and the campfire scene but it's just guy humor at its core. When Gilgamesh searches for the plant to let him live forever Godawa has crafted a clever combination with the original story of Noah along with his explanation as to who Gilgamesh was and why he was a demigod. For me that was one of the flaws but it fits well with the theme of the book. How the Watchers are portrayed in this one also leaves a feeling of sadness as opposed to the outright hatred you have for all of them reading Enoch.The story ends with the perfect setup for the next one.I feel this book would be a classic if it just had followed the story line of Gilgamesh and Enkidu as two best friends. This was one of the strongest written sections of Gilgamesh Immortal and kudos' to Godawa for bringing these two historic characters to the masses.The evangelical audience will love this one as much as the others, maybe.
Chronicles of the Nephilim Series by Brian Godawa is a Wonderful, Amazing Adventure series based on the Bible. The Series contains 8 books which are;Noah Primeval (Chronicles of the Nephilim Book 1)Enoch Primordial (Chronicles of the Nephilim Book 2) A Prequel to Book 1. (I read this one first to stay in time order, But you can do it which ever way your prefer).Gilgamesh Immortal (Chronicles of the Nephilim Book 3)Abraham Allegiant (Chronicles of the Nephilim Book 4)Joshua Valiant (Chronicles of the Nephilim Book 5)Caleb Vigilant (Chronicles of the Nephilim Book 6)David Ascendant (Chronicles of the Nephilim Book 7)and the soon Coming Jesus Ascendant (Chronicles of the Nephilim Book 8)Brian Godawa is an author who entertains and educates. We get the Biblical Narrative as well as many ancient beliefs and myths (Babylonian, Assyrian, Philistine, etc.,) all put together in a wonderful coherent story that stays true to Biblical narrative and at the same time is a fast paced action packed adventure drama with superheros and super villains deluxe.In a way this is like Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, but instead of taking biblical truths and setting them to a myth it takes the Biblical stories and fills in the blanks with “myths”. Godawa takes mythical concepts and makes them real in the books such as Leviathan and Rahab. But he has done his research and this fictional story may be closer to the truth then many expect.Godawa deals with Angels, Fallen Angels, Nephilim, The Giants in Scriptures, Demons, Giant Slayers, etc.
