Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Darkness falls on the Great Green, and the Ancient World is fiercely divided.
On the killing fields outside the golden city of Troy, forces loyal to the Mykene King mass. Among them is Odysseus, fabled storyteller and reluctant ally to the Mykene, who knows that he must soon face his former friends in deadly combat.
Within the city, the Trojan king waits. Ailing and bitter, his hope is pinned on two heroes: his favourite son Hektor, and the dread Helikaon who will wreak terrible vengeance for the death of his wife at Mykene hands.
War has been declared — a war filled with bloodlust, and peopled by heroes who will live forever in a story that will echo down the centuries.

You'll want to read Gemmell's final book, 'Fall of Kings'. It's the final book of his 'Troy' series, and it's the best. He creates a realistic story around the Trojan War full of interesting characters you'll come to adore and despise. The series is composed of three books, which occupy a place of honor above my mantle because they were so entertaining.
This was actually Gemmell's final book - he died while writing it with his wife, and she finished it. I think it's his best book, and a good work to go out on.

Fans of the very first two books can rest assured, this is a fitting conclusion to a wonderful trilogy. Close readers will notice the subtle changes from David to Stella Gemmell as the novel progresses, but thankfully Mrs. Gemmell skillfully finishes her late husband's work without damaging the tone of the previous novels. A very well done piece of work on her part, and a fantastic trilogy.

Brilliant conclusion to the Troy series, as a fan of David Gemmell's work this lived up to my high expectations. Well worth the purchase.

I read this book with sadness knowing that within it's covers was the very last story I will ever read from this wonderful author. Stella you did a fine job finishing the book and I am sure David would be proud. I loved the series, I loved the book. I shall miss Mr Gemmell, I have read every one of his books, some I have read multiple times, and he is one of the greatest storytellers in my humble opinion.

This is a gripping account of the siege of Troy. It has most of the major characters but does not follow Homer's epics. There are also historical inaccuracies (which do not detract). It was pleasing to see some of the more recent excavation finds (eg a lower city) at the Troy excavation site in the story as well as an appearance by the Hittites (a bronze age superpower). The story is so thrilling and realistic that it makes the reader actually "live it".
