A solid, entertaining smash-up of historical mythology and the author’s invention. A backstory war amongst the gods of Mount Olympus has left Hera in charge, and Zeus and his loyal pantheon “ruined”, cast out, never to be mentioned or worshipped. On the human side, an ages old story of jealousy and treachery plays out partially between fellow soldiers from the same military graduating class. This is book one of a series, so nothing much is concluded and the fates of many of the main or prominent secondary characters are unknown. But the story is compelling and drives this reader on to book two.
