About the Book

The second novel in David Gemmell's bestselling Troy trilogy. Interlacing myth and history, and high adventure, this is epic storytelling at its very best. War is looming, and all the kings of the Great Green are gathering, each with their own dark plans of conquest and plunder. Into this maelstrom of treachery come three travellers: Piria, a runaway priestess nursing a terrible secret; Kalliades, a warrior with high ideals and a legendary sword; and his close friend Banokles, who will carve his own legend in the battles to come. Together they journey to the fabled city of Troy, where a darkness is falling that will eclipse the triumphs and personal tragedies of ordinary mortals for centuries to come. "From the Paperback edition."

Review :
"This is how the oldest tales should be read and known. Gemmell is a master of plot, but his triumph is creating men and women so real that their trials are agony and their triumph is glorious." --Conn Iggulden "David Gemmell carries us away to a four-cornered, wholly convincing cosmos, so masterfully done that the reader thinks 'Ah, this is what it was really like.'" --Stephen Pressfield "To anyone who enjoys an action-packed historical epic." --Joanne Harris "The loyalties and betrayals, the love and the hate, the endless, everlasting courage of the men -- and the women -- of both sides are brought to life in this vivid, inspirational recreation of the Troy myth." --Manda Scott "From the Paperback edition." " This is how the oldest tales should be read and known. Gemmell is a master of plot, but his triumph is creating men and women so real that their trials are agony and their triumph is glorious." -- Conn Iggulden " David Gemmell carries us away to a four-cornered, wholly convincing cosmos, so masterfully done that the reader thinks ' Ah, this is what it was really like.' " -- Stephen Pressfield " To anyone who enjoys an action-packed historical epic." -- Joanne Harris " The loyalties and betrayals, the love and the hate, the endless, everlasting courage of the men -- and the women -- of both sides are brought to life in this vivid, inspirational recreation of the Troy myth." -- Manda Scott "From the Paperback edition." Advance praise for Troy: Lord of the Silver Bow "This is how the oldest tales should be read and known. This is the grand style of storytelling. Gemmell is a master of plot, but his triumph is creating men and women so real that their trials are agony and their triumph is glorious." -Conn Iggulden, author of the Emperor series "I can say of David Gemmell, that he's the only writer of historical fiction or heroic fantasy whose prose I actually study, line by line, trying to decode how he produces the effects that he does. Hail to Lord of the Silver Bow! Bravo, Mr. Gemmell!" -Steven Pressfield, author of Gates of Fire and The Virtues of War Praise for David Gemmell "I love David Gemmell's work. He's one of the best out there today, and one of the reasons that fantasy is alive and well." -R. A. Salvatore "Passionate, cleanly written prose, imaginative plots, and, above all, terrific storytelling." -Time Out London "Gemmell not only knows how to tell a story, he knows how to tell a story you want to hear. He does high adventure as it ought to be done." -Greg Keyes "Clean, swift action and a rich undercurrent of human understanding support Gemmell's characters at each turn of the tale." -Kirkus Reviews
