About this listen

The war of Troy is looming, and all the kings of the Great Green are gathering, friends and enemies, each with their own dark plans of conquest and plunder.

Into this maelstrom of treachery and deceit come three travellers: Piria, a runaway priestess nursing a terrible secret; Kalliades, a warrior with a legendary sword; and Banokles, who will carve his own legend in the battles to come.

Shield of Thunder takes the listener back into the glories and tragedies of Bronze Age Greece, reuniting the characters from Lord of the Silver Bow: the dread Helikaon and his great love, the fiery Andromache, as well as the mighty Hektor and the fabled storyteller, Odysseus.

Part 1, Lord of the Silver Bow. I challenge anybody that doesn't love this. Pleasantly surprised at the narrator as this is my favourite book, I was worried about it being ruined by him. But he did a decent job.

Simply the best trilogy ever written.

The continuation of of this clever retelling of the story of Troy continues with masterful management of characters, real emotion and genuine humour.

Even better than book 1

The middle of any trilogy is sometimes accused to simply bridging the beginning and ending, whihh themselves contain all the highlights. This is definitely not the case with Shield of Thunder. There is so much emotional impact packed into this book, and the story is brilliantly constructed.

Incredible, as always for Gemmell
