Editorial Reviews

In this novel, which begins a retelling of the Greek myths and heroic tales found in THE ILIAD, THE ODYSSEY, and THE AENEID, narrator Jonathan Keeble becomes a bard in the tradition of Homer as he recounts the events that led to the Trojan War. Using a unique voice for each of the panoply of gods, goddesses, heroes, and warriors, and women, Keeble recalls their lives and their origin stories. Each tale is intertwined with the next, flowing from Keeble in a grave yet emotional voice as he sets forth the seeds of that tragic war of love, lust, and misfortune. When this first installment in a quartet ends with the kidnapping of Helen, listeners of every age will eagerly await the rest of the story. M.B.K.
