In this arrogance, Gilgamesh faces mortality in the death of a friend and ally whom he once feared, and the young king's suffering propels him on an action-packed and paced quest for immortality.Silverberg, Robert A. is the author of 'Gilgamesh the King' with ISBN 9781596874138 and ISBN 1596874139.
