The Hittite

Author Ben Bova offers us an insight into the classic tale about Troy from the point of view of a soldier who fought there.

Lukka has gone in search of his wife and two young sons who have been captured and taken as slaves. He and his loyal soldiers find themselves at the seige of Troy. Here we meet, Hector, Achilles, Agamemnon, Paris, a host of other Greek heroes, and of course the famous Helen. The battles and destruction of Troy are renewed for the reader in this story.

A good read.
