The Epic of Billy Mesh

The streets and buildings of Oreck, USA tell the story of America. Near the center of town stands the bell tower at Ishtar College, counting each hour as it passes by.

Today, no one is more aware of the tolling of that bell than Oreck’s celebrated mayor, Billy Mesh.

But it hasn’t always been that way.

The Epic of Billy Mesh brings the world’s oldest known written work of fiction—the 4000-year-old Epic of Gilgamesh—to modern-day middle-America. Following the incredibly strong, arrogant but charismatic mayor of a small-town as he struggles with his own mortality, Billy Mesh reminds us that creating a social legacy is the only way to truly “live forever.”
