Shield of Thunder

Troy, Book 2

By: David Gemmell

Narrated by: Thomas Judd

The war of Troy is looming, and all the kings of the Great Green are gathering, friends and enemies, each with their own dark plans of conquest and plunder.

Into this maelstrom of treachery and deceit come three travellers: Piria, a runaway priestess nursing a terrible secret; Kalliades, a warrior with a legendary sword; and Banokles, who will carve his own legend in the battles to come.

Shield of Thunder takes the listener back into the glories and tragedies of Bronze Age Greece, reuniting the characters from Lord of the Silver Bow: the dread Helikaon and his great love, the fiery Andromache, as well as the mighty Hektor and the fabled storyteller, Odysseus.

Needs to be the next game of thrones!

This series is amazing! this is my second time reading/ listing to it. you will never want to put it down! the reader makes the story come to life with his voice acting!

great book

this Gemmell series is fantastic. very addictive, can't wait to start book 3!! will be sad to finish the series.

A wonderful SERIES

Gemmell is amazing and I wish that this series was more popular and had a film adaptation. Being that its historical fiction, it takes many liberties with the source material but masterfully crafts the narrative to resemble what we know of Homers work. And Judds amazing narrative skill adds to the entertainment that is this series. Ive read (and listened) to many books in my time and this series is still my all time favorite. I read this series every few months beginning to end and its still fascinating. Please read it. You will not be disappointed.

Ending sucked!

Great book however end was less than exciting! Not like book 1 where I was pleased throughout.

Great book overall

Loved it! Although it did slow down toward the middle-end. Preparing for an all action third book. One of Gemmels best series in my opinion. Narrator great as usual!
