The Mightiest Hero of Ancient Greece Returns To Fight Again! Homer's classic war novel The Iliad first told us the story of Achilles, who was invulnerable to all physical harm except for his left heel. But The Iliad ends without telling us the final fate of the Greek champion. Legend tells us that Paris, the instigator of the war with Troy, finally felled Achilles by shooting him in his vulnerable heel with a poisoned arrow. But was that really the end of the great hero? In The Fury of Achilles we learn that the mighty Greek warrior did not die after all. Waking from a five-year-long coma induced by Paris' poisoned arrow, Achilles finds that the war with Troy is long over and everything has changed. Setting out to discover the fate of Briseis, his missing love, he encounters monsters, a sorceress, an entire city of Amazon warriors and an island inhabited by ferocious, man-eating giants!
