Ea-nasir: Mission Babylon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798251102406)

Ur, the venerable ancient city in the kingdom of Larsa, is under threat: Hammurabi, the rising and aggressive king of Babylon, seeks to build an empire the likes of which history has never seen before. When the slippery Ea-nasir, dealer in copper and opportunities, gets into serious trouble, he has no choice but to strike a very special kind of deal. He embarks on a secret mission to Babylon to learn more about Hammurabi's war plans. With wit, charm, cunning, and a hefty dose of ruthlessness, he pursues one goal above all: no matter what happens in the end, things should turn out very well for him.
