The Physician of Nineveh Book Review

What if you were obsessed with an ancient civilization and have the opportunity to learn the truth about it fell into your lap? It could happen if it was a time traveler to our current time. You’d have to keep him out of the news, calm him fears of the “magic” of this world, and help him achieve his own goals. Oh, and try not to get killed in the process.

Yes, this is a time travel story but not where the main character leaves this time and goes into the distant past. Nope. The past comes here but not without showing us his world. The reader goes back and forth from ancient Nineveh to modern London as the story of an ancient doctor trying to find a cure to take back with him unfolds. Will he succeed? What will he find here? What will he take back? Will he live to see the sun in his own time? So many questions the reader will have as they read and hope for the adventurer. He didn’t ask for such an assignment, but he will complete it to save the life of someone he cares about.

There are a few plot lines that converge as the reader moves through the story. It is not as easy as travelling through time and then returning. Everyone involved finds out that there are quite a few obstacles and other people who want to take part in the adventure. It doesn’t always turn out so good for them though. I really enjoyed the story but the ending….was a slight surprise. Would love to know your feelings on it after you read it. Maybe I was overthinking it.

A great read that will have you looking into more about ancient Nineveh.
