An interesting re-telling of Homer's epic poem, the Iliad from the point of view of Kassandra, daughter of King Priam of Troy. Trained as an Amazon and a priestess of Apollo, she is doomed to have her visions dismissed as lunatic ravings and she is powerless to avert the fall of Troy. The Trojan War is seen and experienced through the eyes of not only Kassandra, but her mother Hecuba, her sister Andromache, Helen, wife of Paris and Klytemnestra. Blending archaeological fact and legend, the myths of the gods and the feats of heroes, the classic tale of the Trojan War is larger-than-life, as living people engaged in a desperate struggle that dooms both the victors and the vanquished.

Yet for all the emptiness there was a familiarity about the stranger who appeared, claiming to be his father - a horrific familiarity, somehow linked to the dreams of another world that invaded his sleep. Where had he been? What had shocked his mind so deeply that it refused to remember? Cover art by Ken Barr. -
