• Reimagines the Epic of Gilgamesh in the context of Sitchin’s discoveries
• Details ancient Sumerian sex rituals, the Anunnaki lineage of the gods who lived in Sumer, Anunnaki spacecraft technology, the workings of the Oracle of Anu, and Gilgamesh’s relationship with the goddess Ishtar
Written in secret so as not to incite criticism about his controversial discoveries, this novel from the late Zecharia Sitchin brings to life the key themes of his bestseller The 12th Planet. The story begins in London as Astra arrives at the British Museum’s opening for their new Gilgamesh exhibit. There she meets a handsome stranger who knows secrets about her that no stranger should know, including the source of the unusual scar on her hand. Taking her to his apartment, he reveals that she is descended from the goddess Ishtar and that he is the modern-day avatar of Gilgamesh seeking to claim the eternal life Ishtar denied him so long ago. Reenacting their sacred sex ritual from eons ago, they find themselves transported to ancient Sumer as Gilgamesh and Ishtar, where he is at last able to continue his quest for immortality.
But as Gilgamesh fulfills his sacred duties with Ishtar, something goes awry and the Oracle of Anu will not renew its blessing upon his kingship. Following the direction of his mother, the Anunnaki goddess Ninsun--the source of his partial divinity--Gilgamesh flees the city for the Anunnaki forbidden zone in search of a way to the planet Nibiru and eternal life. Travel alongside Gilgamesh and his immortal companion Enkidu as they escape the fate pronounced by the oracle, discover a Tablet of Destiny meant for Ishtar, fight off Marduk’s raiders, and foil the plot of the high priest, Gilgamesh’s half-brother who is seeking Gilgamesh’s crown for himself.
Retelling the Epic of Gilgamesh in the context of his discoveries about the Anunnaki, Zecharia Sitchin weaves a tale of ancient ceremony, accidental betrayal, gods among men, interplanetary travel, and a quest for immortality spanning millennia.

The King Who Refused to Die, by Zecharia Sitchin
by Kenneth J. Pollinger, Ph.D.
For those of you who have read some of Sitchin's 14 books--I have read ALL in great depth--I guarantee that you will find much pleasure and enlightenment in this, Sitchin's first novel, published after his death, which, although a novel full of mysteries, contains much legitimate pre-historical teachings, somewhat like Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code.
Each of the Anunnaki "gods" come wonderfully alive, along with the many Enlil-Enki and their respective clans's skmirishes. Research is one thing. Adding flesh and bones is quite another! Their interbreeding and its consequences with the "earthlings" enhances much understanding in the hands of a master storyteller (based on archeological research), who emphasizes the roles of altars, prayers, blessings, omens, oracles, visions and even curses.
To fully appreciate The King Who Refused to Die (The Epic of Gilgamesh) requires that one have read at least a few of Sitchin's works, otherwise names, situations, and brilliant details will not be fully enjoyed, methinks. The many varied relationship complexities are much easier to understand here, because, thankfully, Sitchin wasn't constrained by a "scientific" methodology.
Ishtar is presented in such a manner that you will never ever forget her. Quite a female "god!"
As for the content (without giving the ending away) here is a short offering. While "Gilgamesh fulfills his sacred duties with Ishtar, something goes awry and the Oracle of Anu will not renew its blessing upon his kingship.
I greatly recommend reading "The King Who Refused to Die" by Z. Sitchin, published posthumously from his estate. I read it to check out Mr. Z's knack (or not) for entertaining rather than educating prose. Mind you I have reveled in the education.
The story moves faster than you expect, having become accustomed to Mr. Z's careful, slow march to another hypothesis for testing. If you are knowledgeable about the Gilgamesh epic, you begin to fly through the pages to find the next gap-filling detail(s) about this epic you have obviously missed in your previous readings. If Gilgamesh is new to you, you find that you are turning the pages faster than usual. It happens naturally as you find new vignettes.
I have read all of Mr. Z's books at least once, each of the seven Earth Chronicles, at least twice. The driver for me to read this book was to ferret out some secret insight or undiscovered interpretation of a new Sumerian artifact that Mr. Z had inadvertently let slip into the public domain. I was not disappointed.
I encourage other readers seriously looking for answers to those really knotty conundrums that continually surface when biblically described actions resemble so intimately the same deeds reported for powerful, dictatorial human beings.
Pick two books from Mr. Z's Earth Chronicles Series that contain a detailed exposition of King Gilgamesh's search for immortality (The 12th Planet should be one). Read them as if your soul depended on it, paying special attention to the Epic of Gilgamesh story in each.
Now, read "TKWRTD"; pick out the elaborations from it that didn't occur in your previous reads. Isn't the story more complete, now, than before! Ask yourself, "Is this new information just Mr.
