I - Lord of the Silver Bow II - Shield of Thunder III - Fall of Kings
I've always avoided Gemmell as an author because the fantasy sub-genre of Battle Fantasy has never appealed. But this alternative history set in the period leading up to and including the Trojan Wars intrigued me so I thought I'd give it a try and I'm so glad I did. I was enthralled throughout by Gemmell's fantasy take on history, full of rich characters and a plot that made much more sense to me than the reality/myth as we know it.
I finished its final pages with a lump in my throat and a smile and I'm definitely going to try more of Gemmell's work in the future.
