The Physician of Nineveh by Glenn Cooper has something for everyone. It has history. It has romance. It is an action thriller. It has fantasy. It has science. It has time travel. It has a happy ending--for all.
The major characters are a physician from the seventh century, BC, and a scholar specializing in Assyriology, Kate Mayne, from the twenty-first century, AD. They meet through time-travel.
See, Mannu the Assyrian physician uses black magic to travel through time, to find a cure for King Ashurbanipa's favorite concubine. He lands in London, where Kate finds him. Kate, scholar, that she is, thinks her dreams have come true. The drama comes in when the King's enemies follow Mannu to make sure he doesn't succeed in his quest.
The story is different, and like I said, it has everything.
