The Oracles of Troy
“A fantastic read and an excellent continuation of the story of the Iliad from the perspective of Odysseus. . . . Brilliant!” (Edinburgh Book Review)
 
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 . . .

Praise for the writing of Glyn Iliffe:

“Suspense, treachery, and bone-crunching action . . . will leave fans of the genre eagerly awaiting the rest of the series.” —The Times Literary Supplement

“A must read for those who enjoy good old epic battles, chilling death scenes and the extravagance of ancient Greece.” —Lifestyle Magazine

“The reader does not need to be classicist to enjoy this epic and stirring tale. It makes a great novel.” —Historical Novels Review
