David Gemmell makes us work to identify his fable with that of Homer. Shield of Thunder , the second book in his trilogy encompassing the Trojan War, is quite impossible to put down and achieves the same heights as Lord of the Silver Bow. Amid the glory that was ancient Greece, the western armies of the Great Green which we know as the Mediterranean are gathering under the leadership of Agamemnon, King of Mycenae, to invade the shores of Ilium and bring about the downfall of Troy.
Legendary heroes return and are joined by new characters: Kalliades and Banokles, soldiers banished from their homeland with a price on their heads; Pira, a runaway priestess searching for her lost lover; and Ganny, a surprising companion to Odysseus. This is a passionate, elegant, ruthless and romantic historical novel.
