Lord of the Silver Bow (Troy Trilogy, Book 1)

A highly readable and deftly written re-imagining of the Trojan War, Lord of the Silver Bow crackles with tense energy, vividly-drawn characters, and violent encounters. The author definitely doesn't pull any punches. Terrible things happen to decent people and the story swerves in unpredictable ways. Gritty but engrossing.
