Description
Helen of Troy is in mourning for her dead husband, Paris, killed in combat with Apollo. Her lover, Hockenberry, still sneaks from her bed after their nights of lovemaking. The gods still strike out from the besieged city of Olympos, and the fate of man and the gods hangs in the balance. As the final act of the tragedy unfolds, the players must prepare for the ultimate confrontation. The gods, mortals, and the unknown forces at work in this epic tale must come to terms with their roles in the devastating conflict. In this retelling of the ancient myth, Dan Simmons weaves a complex and suspenseful narrative that explores the human cost of divine intervention.
