Title: A solid reworking of the Troy story
Product review: I knew nothing of Gemmell before reading this book. Perhaps that was a good thing. While reading I could feel elements of his proficiency in fantasy but it remained a strong work of historical fiction.That said, it lured me in slowly. I was not immediately taken with the tale or its characters. But as I perservered I became entranced with the story and eventually found it very difficult to put down.It is a solid reimagining of the events surrounding and particularly leading up to the famous battle for Troy and focusses largely on one major character Helikaon/Aneas of Dardania - and what a character he is.For anyone interested in a good historical fiction read, the bronze age or Ancient Greek History and the Trojan saga in particular this is a worthy addition to the library.
