In humanity's oldest epic lies a forgotten truth: immortality is not a blessing, but the cruelest curse. Gilgamesh, King of Uruk—two-thirds divine, one-third mortal—possesses power to shake heaven and earth, yet crumbles completely before his beloved friend Enkidu's death. Abandoning his throne, he embarks on a desperate quest for immortality's secret, crossing the Waters of Death to face the terrible truth from the flood survivor. But when he finally grasps the Plant of Youth, an ancient serpent changes everything... This is not just a story about immortality, but the ultimate revelation about learning to be human.

I am Cogitator, a traveler navigating the myriad dimensions of storytelling. My work knows no fixed boundaries. I journey from the stark landscapes of realism to the fluid dreamscapes of the surreal, from the whispers of history to the prophecies of a world yet to come.
In every story, I strive to explore the complexities of the human condition and find a thread of truth within fiction.
If a story of mine resonates with you, I would consider it the highest honor. I look forward to sharing this journey with you.View all Audiobooks by Cogitator
