Review of Troy: Shield of Thunder (Troy (Ballantine Books))

Another great installment in the Troy trilogy. Gemmell has the admirable ability to make the most minor characters into fully-rendered people, people you often find yourself emotionally-invested in. This can be dangerous, because in these novels, no one is entirely safe. Brutal and tragic events will occur, but there will also be moments of triumph. It's just darn good stuff, and I'm looking forward to finishing the series.
