Completely Readable! June 24, 2008 Mrs. J. R. Backhouse (Somerset, UK) I first read this book about 2 yrs ago, and couldn't stop! It's brilliantly written, and historically sound. David Gemmell portrays the characters intricately and you can imagine yourself with them as you read it. Overall, a great read and i recommend this to all ages. Great read!
A Troy-mendous book.... July 20, 2007 Mr. A. L. BARKER (Bedford, UK) After reading the Lord of the silver bow, and thoroughly enjoying it is was very excited about starting the second book, and i have to say i wasnt dissapointed. Great action scenes explained in enought detail to enjoy but not enought to long them out. It follows the exploits of two mykene warriors who we met briefly in the first book, who now you find yourself feeling sorry for. ill say no more Definetly worth a read, 5*!!!
Amazing July 2, 2007 Dk Singh (wolvo) I loved this book, i am a major book worm and the first book attracted me so after reading the first i went and bought this one and i was not dissapointed! Exciting plot lines and a great portrayal of the troy myth! 5****** all the way.
Shield Of Thunder April 25, 2007 Mr. JJ Huntley (London) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
When I first bought the book I was a bit dubious in reading such a large novel, however I thought this book was fantastic. The storyline is not exhaustative (like other books of a similar depth)and Gemmell does really well in transporting the reader into the time the book is set. His decriptive narrative of battle scenes and his ability to portray the feelings and actions of all the characters meant I didnt want to put the book down. His characters Banokles and Kalliades are fantastic, their mixture of jovial bluntness and childish wims had me laughing out load. I am not normnally a book lover but have nothing but positive comments to make, so much so I have bought the first book in the Triology and cant wait for the final one to come out.
A stepping up of gear! March 27, 2007 S. D. Hutt (New Zealand) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Gemmell moves into the middle section of his Troy trilogy and manages to keep the reader turning the page. The general tempo and style is on the money and the scene is superbly laid for the finale. Lovely dialogue, quality characterisation and good pace throughout. Highly recommended.
