Why Is Humanity Dying?
It is now one hundred years since the Great Awakening, and the human race is finally colonizing the world with new settlements and centers of commerce.
Reu-Nathor, High Minister of the Citadel, announces an expedition to explore their new world, and Peleg is commissioned as Chief Cartographer aboard the Urbat.
Peleg's core beliefs are challenged and his sense of reality is undermined by the new cultures and tremendous tragedies he encounters during his twelve-year voyage. But he has also been given a secret mission to discover the answer to the one question that no one dares to ask aloud:
Why is the human race dying?
What he discovers forces Peleg to re-evaluate all he has ever known—and also provides him with staggering revelations that will determine the eternal destiny of the entire human race!
Set in ancient Mesopotamia, The Days of Peleg is an action-filled, yet thought provoking epic which combines the enigmas and mythologies of ancient civilizations with the intrigue of hard science fiction. Issues as diverse as origins, linguistics, and phenomenology are concealed within an exciting narrative that boasts diverse characters embarked on an unimaginable journey.
You will never think of ancient man in the same way again!
The Days of Peleg provides an exhilarating yet entertaining look at who we once were—and who we may one day become.

"blends ancient history…and fiction in a way that is enjoyable to follow"
"well-researched historical events and legends"
"will be appreciated by anyone seeking a different perspective on man’s early history."
Suzanne J. Sprague—Historical Novel Society
It is a rare work that can combine truth with a good read. Saboe does just that with this work that is rightly called an epic. With lively imagery, fluid characters and an engaging story line, The Days of Peleg captures the imagination while touching the spirit. If you have a bent toward…Lord of the Rings, you will like this book.
Roddy Bullock—Author of The Cave Painting
Few writers have done much with such early times, but this massive 600-page fiction can delight novel lovers on several levels. The first level to enjoy is pure adventure. […] Science is another level. Peleg—and Saboe—know a lot about astronomy, math and music, metallurgy, navigation, and other sciences. […] With all these levels there is something for almost everyone. After reading this, you will never again view early history the same old way.
Dr. Ruth Beechick—Ancient Sumerian Expert—Colorado
A superb merging of the old and the new in a thrilling action-filled adventure. Peleg experiences all of the trials of an epic hero and remains committed ... to the search for new knowledge. "A Must Read".
