  <default-description>Darkness falls on the Great Green, and the Ancient World is fiercely divided.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On the killing fields outside the golden city of Troy, forces loyal to the Mykene King mass. Among them is Odysseus, fabled storyteller and reluctant ally to the Mykene, who knows that he must soon face his former friends in deadly combat.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Within the city, the Trojan king waits. Ailing and bitter, his hope is pinned on two heroes: his favourite son Hektor, and the dread Helikaon who will wreak terrible vengeance for the death of his wife at Mykene hands.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;War has been declared &amp;#8212; a war filled with bloodlust, and peopled by heroes who will live forever in a story that will echo down the centuries.</default-description>

It is the third part of a trilogy - and it was probably more than a year since I read the first two.

    <body><![CDATA[I took way too long to finish this book.  The action in this one is pretty much the same time frame as the Iliad, but events are way more realistic. It's as if Gemmell is showing you what might really have happened, and the tale was embroidered and grown from there.  Reading it I anticipated the bad...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62641080">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A cracking finale to Gemmell's Troy series. Fall of Kings had me enthralled from start to finish.<br/><br/>Gemmell has reworked the story of Troy to a more realistic tale. All the well-known characters of the legend are there - Achilles, Hector, Priam, Agamemnon, Odysseus, Andromache, Cassandra, A...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19098035">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Awesome.  I was worried that since David Gemmell passed away before this book was done there would be a decrease in quality, but Stella Gemmell did a fine job of completing this series.  Everything tied together perfectly, and the elements of the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aneid were woven in astou...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18044587">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the last David Gemmell Book.  I was worried that his wife wouldn't be able to sustain the same writing style and that it would be painfully obvious where he left off and she took over.  Stella Gemmell did a good job finishing her husbands work.  I actually enjoyed the story. David Gemmell wi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11452183">more...</a>]]></body>
