Before the Greeks, before the Egyptians, before the Babylonians, Marduk walked. Immortal, or nearly so, he was revered as a God. As a God, he bedded earth girls, impregnating many. Some of his children got the immortality gene. But he never stuck around long enough to tell them. Jason Edwards is one of those children. He has spent a lifetime -- a hundred normal lifetimes -- trying to understand his gift and cope with the downside: no one else he knows has it. He is a man who cannot die trying to live within a world filled with people who can, and do. His biggest problem is that he falls in love. Often. Then he buries his lovers, every time. Like his father before him, Jason Edwards has become a Traveler. He travels through time in the only way possible, within memory, moving ever forward. In the bowels of the largest library ever built, Alexandria II, Jason contemplates that very long life. But outside, in the small town of Amber Waves, Nevada, population 218, on the edge of the Great Basin, another man threatens to prove once and for all the adage Marduk himself penned a long time ago: "Everything dies. Even Gods." Amber Waves is adventure, humor, history and murder brought together into a fast paced and compelling read.
