Lamassu Falling: A Novelette of Ancient Assyria in the Days of Jonah by Arturo R. Ortiz

Plagues and wars gradually engulf the mighty nation of Assyria. An ominous portent in the heavens spells doom for the great city of Nineveh as a ruthless and power-hungry pagan plots to make himself ruler of Nineveh. A prophet of the God of Israel warns the Ninevites their city will fall in just forty days, and a war of the gods begins. Caught in the midst are the beautiful daughter of Nineveh’s governor and an Assyrian war hero who is disheartened with the gods of Assyria. Violence erupts in Nineveh as cruel pagans force families to sacrifice their beloved children to the heathen gods. The governor of Nineveh is about to witness the power of the true God. Will he continue to serve the bloodthirsty war gods of Assyria, or will he turn to the benevolent God of Israel? The fate of Nineveh and the entire Assyrian nation hangs in the balance.
