Troy: Fall of Kings by David Gemmell & Stella Gemmell

Description: War has been declared...and the Ancient World is divided into fiercely opposing factions. On the killing fields outside the Golden City forces loyal to the Mykene king mass. Among them is Odysseus, reluctant ally to King Agamemnon; alongside him the mighty warrior Achilles stands ready to begin the slaughter. Both know that Agamemnon will stop at nothing to secure the gold that lies within the city walls. Ailing and bitter, the Trojan king waits, secure in the knowledge that his favourite son Hektor is riding to his aid. And that, at sea, the dread Helikaon, will wreak terrible vengeance for the death of his wife at Mykene hands. As darkness falls on the Great Green, and warriors who were once kinsmen are filled with bloodlust, this much is certain. This a battle whose tragic consequences will echo down the centuries. "Troy: Fall of Kings" is the culmination of a story that interlaces myth and history, swash-buckling adventure and high romance. It shows how ordinary men and women can become heroes and achieve immortality; and it demonstrates how within each one of us lies the possibility of redemption.
