His 1987 novel The Assyrian and its sequel, The Blood Star, tell the history of Tiglath Ashur, the fictional half-brother of Esarhaddon, a historical king of Assyria. The Orange Coast magazine said that book recreates the period so effectively that "you'd swear the author, Nicholas Guild, researched the book in a previous life."^[1]
