About this title

Review:

" This is how the oldest tales should be read and known. Gemmell is a master of plot, but his triumph is creating men and women so real that their trials are agony and their triumph is glorious." -- Conn Iggulden " David Gemmell carries us away to a four-cornered, wholly convincing cosmos, so masterfully done that the reader thinks ' Ah, this is what it was really like.' " -- Stephen Pressfield " To anyone who enjoys an action-packed historical epic." -- Joanne Harris " The loyalties and betrayals, the love and the hate, the endless, everlasting courage of the men -- and the women -- of both sides are brought to life in this vivid, inspirational recreation of the Troy myth." -- Manda Scott "From the Paperback edition."

Book Description:
