    About this ebook

    Only the determination of one man can bring victory

    The Trojan War has been raging for ten years. Greece’s greatest warriors have fallen. But then a series of oracles appear with utterances from the gods, commands that must be fulfilled if Troy is to be defeated.

    Agamemnon, leader of the Greeks, knows that only one man has the courage and intelligence to complete the tasks set by the Olympians: Odysseus, King of Ithaca.

    From an island haunted by a vengeful madman to a forsaken tomb and its deadly guardian, from the palace of a hostile king to the sacred heart of Troy itself, Odysseus and his friend Eperitus must follow the trail toward the greatest deception of all time…

    1. King of Ithaca
    2. The Gates of Troy
    3. The Armour of Achilles
    4. The Oracles of Troy
    5. The Voyages of Odysseus
    6. Return to Ithaca

      I read the armor of Achilles 10 years ago when I found it in the discounted section of my local bookstore. I was quite into greeks and romans back then so I decided to buy it. Even without reading the first 2 books I was absolutely engrossed in that book and went back to the bookstore to look for the sequel but never found it. Now 10 years later I finally came around to reading the sequel and it does not disappoint.

      It is truly and amazing combination of Homer's illiad with a little bit more drama. Definitely recommended.

      Odysseus and our less well-known hero - Eperitus are back and they're hunting down items and people to help them defeat Troy - these are 'The Oracles of Troy', or at least that's what they've been told to do by an Oracle and we know how well that usually goes for them all.The Second Half of the book is about the Fall of Troy - I hope I'm not giving away any spoilers here, but yep Tory falls! And our heroes and their friends, Polites, Antiphus and Eurybates are having to do than defeat the enemies of Greece, they have people to save, revenge to take and a certain princess to help out. I also love the fact that Diomedes is included a heck of a lot in this story as from an early age and from one of the earliest fiction books I read about Troy and the Greeks, he was always a legend for me.Again, this is Mr Iliffe at his best, friendship, disagreements, plots and ploys, Gods and Goddesses, heroes on both sides, villains on both sides, love and lost love, oracles and horses, big big horses and of course all out war! I love this series!
