The Ship of Ishtar Paperback
by A. Merritt, Tim Powers
Paperback
Description
Explorer John Kenton returns from a lifetime of wanderings and the wreckage of World War I to discover a mysterious block of Babylonian basalt containing a crystal model of an ancient ship - the Ship of Ishtar!
The sultry magic of the fabled ship draws Kenton into its dreamworld, where a strange crew plucked from the ages sails in a lushly imagined mystical seascape.
At the fore of the ship is Sharane, beautiful, proud, luxurious priestess instilled with the power of Ishtar, goddess of Love, Wrath, and Vengeance.
On the prow broods inhuman Klaneth, infused with the essence of Negal, god of the Underworld.
Kenton finds himself in a cosmic struggle of wills between them - sixty centuries in the making!
Will he claim Sharane and take command of the Ship of Ishtar, or will its mysterious power take command of him?
