About this title

Synopsis

The flood is over. The world is rebuilding.

And Mezaliel is still watching.

For centuries he was bound and suspended between heaven and earth, chained in the silence that follows catastrophe. He has seen humanity rise from eight survivors into nations. He has watched them gather their ambitions on the plain of Shinar and reach, once again, for what was never theirs to take.

But when a visitor appears who has not come since the day of his binding, Mezaliel discovers that what he thought was punishment may have been preparation. And that what comes next may be harder than anything he has yet endured.

In a remote mountain refuge, a young scribe named Tastari is still writing. Still keeping vigil. Then a visitor arrives, wounded, hunted, carrying a name already passing into legend.

He says only that he was told, once, by a man who seemed to know too much: If there is ever a night when you have nowhere left to go there is a place.

The Shattering of Babel is the second movement of a testimony that spans the rise and fall of civilizations, and the slow, costly learning of one who has witnessed all of it.

About the Author

Mike Periman lives in Southern Illinois with his wife of nearly thirty years. When he's not writing, he works as an IT professional and serves actively in his local church.

Mike is a father of three and a devoted grandfather to five grandchildren, whom he delights in teaching about life's beauty and wonder. He regularly speaks at churches and youth camps, using his passion for ministry and teaching of God's word.

The inspiration for his debut novel, "Caged", struck in 2010 when Mike had a vivid dream of a woman ascending a staircase, glancing back over her shoulder. Upon waking, he found himself asking: Who was this woman? Why was she there? These questions sparked his imagination and led to the first draft of "Caged".

What began as a single story has evolved into a fifteen-year journey, culminating in the complete Possession Series Trilogy, a Men's devotional designed to be blunt and impactful, and a humorous story of his college car.
