Excellent second book in series, pitting Western kings led by Agamemnon against King Priam of Troy. Leaving the first story of Andromache and King Aeneas as background, this book focuses on Piria, a runaway priestess; Kalliades, a crafty warrior with the legendary sword of Argurious; and Banokles, a brute, who becomes a leader of men. Another great installment in the Troy trilogy. Gemmell has the admirable ability to make the most minor characters into fully-rendered people, people you often find yourself emotionally-invested in. This can be dangerous, because in these novels, no one is entirely safe. Brutal and tragic events will occur, but there will also be moments of triumph. It's just darn good stuff, and I'm looking forward to finishing the series. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieTroy Trilogy (2)
The second exciting novel in the bestselling Troy trilogy. Interlacing myth and history, adventure and love, this is epic storytelling at its best. The war in Troy is looming, and all the kings of the Great Green are gathering, friends and enemies, 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 reader 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, the mighty Hektor, and the fabled storyteller, Odysseus.

Breathtaking book. So many characters to love. Even the minor characters that appear in one chapter ... David gives them loving attention.
Since this is classified as a fantasy book, I will have to add the sci fi/fantasy section of the library to my hunting grounds.
