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
Gripping and fast-paced, intelligent and intensely readable... should appeal 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
