Set in Ancient West Asia and North Africa

Mostly fiction inspired by Sumerian, Akkadian, Egyptian, Canaanite (and Roman Levant), Hittite, Persian etc…

I see a lot of Greek myth retellings or books inspired by them, but not that much from SWANA.

The period spans from 8th millennium BCE to 7th century BCE. This is very much unique to Sumerian culture. But there aren’t a lot of Sumerian inspired works out there. And since, we’re bound by the constraints of what’s available, I’ve been lax with the criteria.

Spectacular steampunk

Steampunk is a genre typically set in the Victorian era, sometimes Edwardian area with elements of science fiction or fantasy. The key aspect of steampunk is the use of steam for innovations.

Sometimes the steampunk setting plays major roles in the story and plot, sometimes it is just the background setting.

(This list is a work in progress of collecting steampunk novels, I have more to add when I go through my shelves and finish reading the book steam punk FAQ, and suggestions are welcomed)
