The Babylon Trilogy – Terror in the City  (book one of three) follows two brothers, Yakov and Zeke, who live in Jerusalem in the days of Daniel and Jeremiah. Yakov is taken into Babylon, along with Daniel, to work in King
Nebuchadnezzar’s palace. He is caught up in the amazing events recorded in the Bible, including how Daniel is able to interpret Nebuchadnezzar’s dreams.
Meanwhile, his younger brother, Zeke, remains in Jerusalem with his sister and her family. He hears Jeremiah trying to warn the people of the coming invasion. Book One ends with King Jehoiachin being taken prisoner. At the same time, Zeke is among a further group of exiles sent to Babylon. Will he survive the arduous journey and find Yakov alive and well? Will the brothers’ faith in the true God stand firm or falter in the face of such serious trials?
Although the brothers and their families are fictional, Babylon’s invasion of Judah and the experiences of the prophets, Jeremiah and Daniel, are most certainly not and their stories can be found in the books of the Bible bearing their name.

We have really enjoyed reading The Babylon Trilogy as a family. Gill’s writing style has thoroughly engaged us all and we have become eager to find out what happens to the characters next. The books are particularly helpful to compare the fictional storyline with the factual Bible accounts of that time.

Jenny Hudd, Primary School Teacher and Mum This is an exciting story with good characters. It gives interesting historical information about Babylon. I found it a gripping story and once I started, I couldn’t stop reading.
