The Gates Of Troy: Glyn Iliffe

Ten years have passed since Odysseus and the warrior Eperitus joined the heroes of the age to compete for the hand of Helen of Sparta. Odysseus now wants nothing more than to rule Ithica in peace. Meanwhile, Eperitus, frustrated at his quiet life, dreams of glory in battle. When sails bearing the lion motif of Agamemmnon appear on the horizon, Odysseus knows that the time for peace is over. Helen of Sparta has been abducted by a Trojan prince and the host of ancient Greece are gathering. As the greatest names of the age flock to join the crusade, only Achilles - the famously invincible - is missing. Odysseus must use all his wits and cunning to track him down and persuade him to join their cause. Without Achilles, the gates of Troy will never fall. Cover art by Larry Rostant.
