An excellent and enjoyable book. I have read some earlier David Gemmell books, but not the Troy trilogy, which I am reading as a result of a recommendation from my friend Phil. The book has a great plot structure, believable characterisation, plenty of action, and seems be pretty accurate historically.

A period map would have been useful - I pretty much worked out where the various protagonists came from, but I wanted to confirm it. I read the Kindle version - there wasn't one in it, but maybe there was in the paper version. Still Google came up with a couple.

I am just about to start volume 2 - Shield of Thunder.
