Narrative Concering Books Shield of Thunder (Troy #2)

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 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.

Criticism Out Of Books Shield of Thunder (Troy #2)

I'm breezing past this series even though I really need to STOP. But I can't, because it's been a quite a while since I've been this addicted, and I really missed the thrill of it. I can't believe more people haven't read this series, mainly because Gemmell is such a good storyteller. That being said, this series is definitely not for everyone. There's a lot of graphic description of violence. There's murder, rape and all sorts of bad things done by brutal men and women. But what I'm really

Originally reviewed at Bookwraiths Reviews Book I of this series started off slow but really picked up speed as it reached its conclusion, so I started book two very excited to see where Gemmell was going with it. Unfortunately, Shield of Thunder really failed to deliver.As soon as you begin this book, you will notice that Gemmell has skipped forward in time. No big deal really except for one important fact: a tragic event has occurred, which has left one of our main characters dead or dying.

As you can see above, the math for this one is quite simple. This is book two of one of the best Heroic Fantasy series I have ever read. This sequel to the wonderful Lord of the Silver Bow is the middle installment of David Gemmell's Troy trilogy in which he superbly re-imagines the events leading up to and including the Trojan War. It is brilliant, original and terrifically entertaining. Beginning several years after the events of Lord of the Silver Bow, this book continues the build up to

David Gemmell, a master storyteller. Such a good book, I'm speechless.

A good sequel to Lord of the silver bow. This book picks up where the fist book ended. The author has maintained the pace and the writing style as with the predecessor is captivating. The characters of Kalliades and Banokles border or cliche at times but as usual Odysseus saves the day. I loved the way greek myths have been interpreted in this book. Espcecially the stories made up by Odysseus. This series is no Lord of the Rings, but it certainly is quite entertaining. The simple writing

This series is an excellent retelling of Homer.
