English edition in preparation

What is a perfect world worth if freedom is missing?

After rescuing the goddess Inanna, Mad is trapped in Abzu, the underground realm of the god Enki. It appears to be a perfect world: there is no hunger, no disease and no death. Yet there is also no freedom.

The second volume of the MAD Trilogy follows Mad from the silence of Abzu toward Eridu, Arge and ultimately Babylon, where divine authority, human will and the struggle for freedom collide.

About the Novel

Beyond
the world
of the gods

MAD II · Babylon continues the journey that began in MAD · A Free Man. Having risked everything to rescue Inanna, Mad discovers that freedom itself has become the price demanded by the gods.

Enki imprisons him in Abzu, an underground realm in which time, ageing, hunger and death appear to have lost their power. For others it might resemble paradise. For Mad it becomes the purest form of captivity.

His escape opens a new stage of the story. The world above has changed. Arge is being rebuilt, old powers are reorganising, and Babylon is emerging as the centre of another struggle over water, authority and divine supremacy.

The Story

Escape from Abzu. A road toward Babylon.

Mad has survived slavery, intrigue and the conflict surrounding the goddess Inanna. But his greatest prison is almost invisible: a place where nothing changes and therefore nothing can truly live.

With Pugat searching for him and the mysterious Ram returning, the possibility of escape finally appears. Yet leaving Abzu does not mean leaving the world of the gods behind.

Enki, Inanna, Ninhursag and Marduk become part of a much larger confrontation. The Euphrates itself is threatened, Babylon is rising, and Mad is drawn into a conflict in which human freedom stands against divine and political power.
