Review: 5 Homeric Stars! - *Review first published on Goodreads* “Beware the wooden horse, Agamemnon King, Battle King, Conqueror, for it will roar to the skies on wings of thunder and herald the death of nations.” “A pox on riddles, priest!” replied the king. “Tell me of Troy and of victory.” “The last king of the Golden City will be Mykene. The gods have spoken.” —THE ORACLE OF THE CAVE OF WINGS And he is our beloved, reluctant General, Banokles. At some point in our lives, we have heard about the fallen City of Troy. About the subterfuge that the Greeks employed to infiltrate the City of Troy. Troy the movie featured the colossal Trojan Horse, as in Virgil's Aeneid that speaks of the Trojan Horse. According to Quintus Symrnaeus, the use of a great wooden horse that hid an elite force was the brainchild of Odysseus. With Fall of Kings, David Gemmell took a different approach. The Mykenes had tricked the Trojans into opening the gates to horsemen whom they presumed were Hektor's cavalry. Hektor's cavalry, whom David had so cleverly named 'The Trojan Horse'. "That was a good ploy, though, wasn't it? The Trojan Horse. Who wouldn't open the gates for them, riding like that?" Banokles shook his head in admiration. David and Stella Gemmell had done a marvellous job with the military tactics, the blood and the gore, and the battles and sieges which culminates in the fall of the Golden City. The bout between Hektor and Achilles, the latter avenging the death of his shield bearer, Patroklos, was gripping yet heartbreaking. An epic duel that resulted in the death of the two greatest warriors: Achilles and Hektor. The Troy series was beautifully penned down to tell the story of not the Golden City, but about fallen heroes and valiant warriors who had stood in allegiance to their beloved city. It tells the story of honour and duty; of love and friendship. //Unbidden, faces appeared in Andromache's mind: Hektor, the bravest of the Trojans; his brothers Dios and Antiphones; the tale spinner Odysseus; the valiant Mykene warriors Argurios, Kalliades, and Banokles. And Helikaon, her lover, her husband, the keeper of her heart. I have walked with heroes, she thought.// Conclusion: David Gemmell's Troy series puts Troy the movie to shame. And this is coming from the person who was temporarily obsessed with the movie back in 2004.
Review: Hail Troy! - Wow, i have really enjoyed this amazing trilogy, i've always been a huge fan of the history of Troy and of David Gemmell and when i heard he was writing a Troy trilogy i was so excited. I loved every page and was sorry when i was on the last book, David has a great way of bringing characters to life, you'll whole heartily root and cheer for the Greeks right along with the Trojans. Hector and Achilles truly are awesome, likable heroes, the scope of these books are unreal, just like the old epic historic films of Hollywood's past. Another pleasant surprise for me was i read the last book on my very first kindle, i was sold on never wanting one, but with all our local book stores closing i gave in when i received one as a Christmas gift. And boy did i change my mind, i LOVE my kindle, it's so nice to finally pick any historical novel you want without waiting until you can track it down locally, and it keeps up with the last page you read so no more scrolling through the book looking for your place. The only thing missing is, where i'm an artist and i collect ancient history novels (love the great covers) i miss adding each new book to my library. With the fall of Troy also comes the very sad passing of David Gemmell, we have all lost one of the most exciting writers of historical fiction and fantasy, thanks David for all the wonderful books....

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ VERY GOOD ENDING!!!!!
*by W***L on May 12, 2013*

Troy: Fall of Kings is one of those books that leaves you both in awe of its brilliance and perplexed by its obvious flaws. The good points of this book are many. Gemmell and his wife (Who I understand finished said book after her husband's death.) continued the series' trend of creating realistic characters, who fit perfectly into the historical narrative of this period. These characters are multi-dimensional, behave realistic based upon their established personality, and burst off the page. The same can be said of the battle scenes, where they are realistically portrayed and one can feel the adrenaline rush of fear and the sound of clashing weapons as the Greek and Trojans warriors clash. And the final duel between Hector and Achilles is one of the best written I've read between two, heroic warriors. Even the final "Trojan Horse" resolution is well thought out and makes historical sense. Still, there are instances where the story just doesn't ring true. Helikaon and Andromache, in particular, make certain decision that seem forced so that other important moments in history can be written about. Another is the resolution - if you can even call it that - of Gershom's strange plot line that was somewhat mystifying throughout the series. There are other examples of this throughout the later part of the book, especially the last few chapters where Troy's survivors are shown fleeing for their lives, but I do not want to belabor the point, only point out that these moments detract from the effect of the narrative as a whole. With all that being said, I enjoyed the novel. It was a fitting ending to a good series. A trilogy where the Gemmells did an excellent job of taking the myths about Troy and turning them into compelling historical fiction. Not to say they did not take artistic liberties with historical fact, but that, even though they did, it rang more or less true. For attempting to shed a light of reason on the Trojan War, this novel and series is a must read. Finally, I would be remise if I did not salute the legendary David Gemmell. There will never be another writer who can do justice to a warrior's true spirit as he did in this series and all his novels. A final triumph for a true master of his craft.
