    TROY Series

    By Ben Blake

    About this series

    Troy still stands, and the Greek army threatens to revolt. But Odysseus has a plan, dreamed up with the storyteller Thersites. The scheme centres on the south gate of Troy – the Horse Gate.

    In Greece itself revolt has already torn the nations apart. The kings will return to more war, with armies shrunk by the losses of Troy – if they return at all. For the gods are fickle, and the Greensea and its islands are full of perils even Odysseus has not guessed.

      The fractious, bickering Greeks have a High King now. There are fewer wars. Men say the Age of Heroes ended when Theseus leapt into the sea. But far afield there are heroes still, not all of them Greek. Eastern islands have been conquered and settled, towns founded on strange shores in the west. Crete itself has fallen, mighty Minos thrown down. Greek eyes begin to range wider, to powerful Egypt in the south and the rich trade routes of the east, watched over by the Topless Towers of Troy. Greek kings long for that wealth. The Trojan king longs for the return of his sister, abducted years before by a Greek raiding party. Perhaps the Greeks can be forced to bargain, in exchange for one of their own noble women... if Troy can steal one away. And the Fates begin to weave a new, rich thread into their endless tapestry.

      A vast Greek fleet has gathered at Aulis, ready for the assault on Troy. But a prophecy says the first man ashore will die, and unease spreads among the soldiers. Across the sea Troy prepares to defend herself. Palisades have been built overlooking the beach, and neighbouring cities have promised help. Better still, Mursili the Hittite is making dozens of iron blades, each one stronger than any weapon in all Greece. They are being given to the Apollonian regiment, most feared of Troy's soldiers. Isander of Elis dreams of winning glory in battle. Among the assembled Greeks many young men share his dream, but what awaits them on the shores of Troy is greater and more terrible than they can have imagined.

    I've been a writer since I was a kid, but only recently decided to publish on the internet. A few books will be coming now, since I have several backed up: what Stephen King calls "trunk novels".Away from writing, I like to watch football (soccer) and rugby, enjoy a drink and going to the cinema, and like good food.
