Chronicle Supposing Books Fall of Kings (Troy #3)
Darkness falls on the Great Green and the Ancient World is fiercely divided.On the killing fields outside the golden city of Troy, forces loyal to the Mykene King Agamemnon mass.
Among them is Odysseus, fabled storyteller and reluctant ally to the Mykene. He knows that Agamemnon will stop at nothing to secure the treasure that lies within the city walls, and he must soon face his former friends in deadly combat.
Ailing and bitter, the Trojan king waits. His hope is pinned on two heroes: his favourite son, Hektor, the mightiest warrior of his age, and the dread Helikaon, who will wreak terrible vengeance for the death of his wife at Mykene hands.
War has been declared.
As enemies, who are also kinsmen, are filled with bloodlust, they know that some of them - men and women - will become heroes: heroes who will live for ever in a story that will echo down the centuries.

Really Grand Adventure tale!It has it all, battles, betrayals, heroes & to top it of enough plot twists & differences then the more recognisable storyline of Troy to keep you going & guessing right until the very last chapter.Looking back was I overally hard on the first two parts of the trilogy....... mayeb? As this chapter really stood out for me, loved all the characters good n bad & looking around for my next read by the author.The end of the Trojan War is here, did Gemmell delivered a satisfying conclusion in his final work?The answer to that will be mostly yes, and a few sections of no. Im honestly quite conflicted about Fall of Kings. This is the last book in the Troy trilogy by David Gemmell, its also his final work before he passed away that ended up being finished by his wife, Stella Gemmell. Because this is his final work, theres a part of me that really want to give this book a full 5 stars but I cant due to a
This trilogy is probably the best interpretation of Troy's story since Homero. I'll make a proper review soon.
First of all I'm extremely embarrassed about how long it took me to finish this. I can't remember the last time it took me more than three days to read a book. However as I did move to another continent and start university, I think I can be forgiven this time. I'm really unsure about what to say about this book. Stella Gemmell does a great job of finishing this book. Yet, I couldn't help but feel it somehow wasn't quite as connected and spectacular as Gemmell's other works. I wasn't happy with
There isn't much I can say that I haven't already said about this series. I will admit that even though I "knew" what was supposed to happen to the city of Troy, Gemmell changed things up a bit: the Hector & Achilles showdown ended differently than expected, as did Agamemnon's demise. I would highly recommend this series to anyone into historical fiction. Great work by the late David Gemmell.
A markedly noteworthy ending to an outstanding epic fantasy trilogy, that professes such remarkable depth! David Gemmell has to be one of the greatest writers of all-time whose work is just so astonishing, that it outshines many within the increasingly diverse fantasy genre. His work is truly original and of such quality and profound substance, that his stories remain with you long after you have read them. Fall of Kings (Troy 3#) is the magnificent conclusion to a sweeping historical
Gemmell will always remain my favourite author.So many feels for so many reasons.It is not often I come across such a wonderful piece of perfection.5+++++
