The Fall of the Phoenix
Brilliant, couldnt put the book down. Can not wait for more book to be written
Daniel achieved what I didn't think possible in a genre I'd no real interest in. But I couldn't put it down an excellent page Turner and I can't wait until the 2nd book comes. . . . #hurryup
The Fall of the Phoenix by Daniel Kelly gives us a look at the ancient city of Troy in a way in which we've never seen it before. We get to experience what daily life was like behind the walls, we sneak a peek at the machinations of the powerful and the would-be powerful, and we are granted a front row seat at some of the most epic battles in history. And though we know that it can't all end happily from the Trojans, it's the getting there that makes this book an exciting and entertaining read.

Commentary Toward Books The Fall of the Phoenix
The long siege of Troy, the battles fought over it, and the city's eventual capitulation and incineration are events which have often been retold since their first recitation by Homer. Seldom, however, will they have been narrated with such close attention to the minute particulars of battle, to its reek and terror and pain, as in this startling account by Daniel Kelly. Kelly looks minutely at every detail of archaic combat, as well as at the lives and feelings shaped by it. His Troy is not only a scene of shining glory, but also a grimy struggle for survival and mastery. And he introduces surprising questions: what if not everything in the Trojan war came to pass just as Homer tells us? What if the future of the Roman empire were hidden in the burning ashes of Troy's - and not in the way we might expect?Define Based On Books The Fall of the Phoenix
