SYNOPSIS
A supernatural phenomenon occurs to Gabriel, and he is taken to the time of the last generation of the world before the Deluge. There he meets a sage, Methuselah, a relative of Noah, who becomes his foster father. He is assigned a guide and a bodyguard, a female soldier serving in the army of Tubal-Cain.
As his guide takes him around the city to familiarize him with his new world, word reaches them of a brigandage of a caravan belonging to a prominent man of the city, a close friend of Methuselah.
The purpose of Gabriel's transportation to the end time of the pre-Deluge world is to be a witness to every event that would eventually cause the decline and destruction of the city and the rest of the world. Therefore, Methuselah sends Gabriel with the expedition members to pursue the brigands.
Gabriel goes through martial training to become a member of the elite armed forces of the city. He is almost thwarted from his mission by the seductive attempts of his beautiful trainer.
He journeys to a distant region to meet Noah. He serves as the prophet's aide for seven years, and then returns to Tubal-Cain. In the seven years, the city goes through a coup, and is now ruled by the former army chief, Cyrenius.
A prominent merchant of Tubal-Cain is murdered by a prince of Calah, a city in another region. Cyrenius demands that the culprits be handed over to Tubal-Cain, and when that is not complied, he declares war on the city and its four allies, one of whom are the giant Nephilim.
After the conquest of the Calah, Cyrenius, expands Tubal-Cain with magnificent edifices, one of which is Babilu, similar to the Tower of Babylon, and The Eden, similar to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
Zimri, a high priest of sinister character, and with telepathic powers, becomes Cyrenius' chief adviser.
UFO sightings and crop circles occur, which eventually, through the mediation of the high priest, lead to the first alien-human encounter.
Through Zimri's evil influence, aided by malicious aliens, Cyrenius reign becomes extremely brutal. Gabriel warns him of the destruction of the city if he did not stop his atrocities.
Warnings in the form of several supernatural events occur in the city, including an attack by dinosaurs and other wild animals, and a devastating famine.
Noah's ship is ready, and Gabriel's time for departure back to his own world arrives. But the female guide
