Peter Thornton doesn't believe in God. Or rather, he doesn't believe in one God. All paths are valid. This is what he teaches his university students. One evening he ventures to his colleague's office in the archaeology department and touches an artifact recently discovered from ancient Babylon. Now he is in Babylon, three thousand years back in time. Somehow he knows the language-and the people know him as Rim-Sin, sorcerer in high priest to the gods of Babylon. The moment he arrives he is accused of murder-a murder Rim-Sin committed-and he must run for his life. Against the backdrop of Nebuchadnezzar's court, he and rival sorcerers vie with Beltshazzar, the Jewish upstart, for the king's favor. Will he get back home? Fallen from Babel is like Back to the Future to Old Testament Babylon.
