The Lion of Babylon is a fable of men and women, Muslims and Christians, Americans and Iraqis, who look into their futures during a time of war to decide what will become of their lives. Haidar is an orphaned Iraqi boy who can see the future. The source of his special talent is a 2,500 year old statue called the Lion of Babylon. The Lion of Babylon foretold to Haidar that the Americans would come and that one of those soldiers would resolve his quest to find the burial place of his parents. When Haidar meets and befriends Dan Murphy, an American soldier, he believes the man to be the answer to his dilemma.
S.R. Staley, author of St. Nic, Inc, says that “Michael Whitehead has done more than craft an engaging story with interesting characters in The Lion of Babylon. He provokes the reader’s conscience and challenges us to contemplate the layers embedded in our lives and relationships.”
