I the Sun

From the annals of the ancient Hittite king Suppiluliumas from the Amarna letters of Egypt and the court records of a wealth of lost civilizations comes this saga of kingship and greatness love and death politics and treachery in the second millennium B.C.Beyond a few cursory references to the Hittites in the Bible for thousands of years nothing has been known of this first mighty Indo-European culture. Now based on translations of the ancient texts themselves comes the story of Suppiluliumas Great King Favorite of the Storm God King of Hatti who by his own count fathered forty-four kings and conquered as many nations who brought even mighty Egypt to her knees. Tutankhamuns widow sent him an urgent letter begging for a son of his to make her husband. The earliest Hebrews knew him as their Protector. The entire Mediterranean world revered and feared him.But though he conquered armies countries and even foreign gods he could not conquer his love for the one woman fate denied him the Great Queen Khinti.With the exception of a single slave girl every prince and general mercenary and scribe princess and potentate in these pages actually lived loved and died nearly fourteen hundred years before Christ. Now they live again in I the Sun.
