Ben Thomas's latest update for The Cradle and the Sword

Oct 18, 2016

The Cradle and the Sword has a new book trailer!

Yes — I, too was somewhat flummoxed by the idea of creating a video trailer for a book. I mean, what was I supposed to put on display? I wondered. Book quotes? Images of Mesopotamian art? Come on. Let’s be honest — who’s really going to be entertained by a photo montage? I wanted to give you something of value. A video you can actually enjoy.

And since — as the old saying goes — "anything worth doing is worth doing on an epic blockbuster scale," I decided to fulfil my fantasy of a Cradle and the Sword  HBO series.

This is, after all, the "ancient Mesopotamian Game of Thrones."

Thank you, all of you, from the depths of my heart, for helping support this project. New excerpts, updates, and cool ancient Mesopotamian content are coming your way soon.
