The Firebrand

By: Marion Zimmer Bradley

Narrated by: Lisa Flanagan

Blending archaeological fact and legend, the myths of the gods, and the feats of heroes, Marion Zimmer Bradley breathes new life into the classic tale of the Trojan War. Reinventing larger-than-life figures as living people engaged in a desperate struggle that dooms both the victors and the vanquished, their fate is seen through the eyes of Kassandra—priestess, princess, and passionate woman with the spirit of a warrior.

Loved it

I have loved MZB's work for over 50 years (or more). I super enjoyed this story of the Trojan War.

Great story; good actress/reader

The story itself is tragic due to the topic. Yet the writing of all aspects of the tragedy were handled well.

Excellent

Enjoyed the story and performance. I felt like I was looking into that time period.

Two thumbs up

This is a great book. I can't wait to read more Nation Zimmer Bradley.

Woman was very strong

I like the whole book, the war was very sad how they was evil against the children and the woman.

Been waiting a long time for this to come to Audible!

Great take on embellishing Kassandra’s story and the fall of Troy by Marion Zimmer Bradley!

Fresh take on Greek Mythology!

What an amazing story about the Trojan War through the eyes of the Trojan Princess Kassandra. Strong female characters that I really related to. ♥️Loved this book!😍

As good now as the first time I read it.

I first read this book I don't know how long ago, and although I often thought of it, I could never remember the title or author. I was looking for a different book when I found this one again... and it was as good as now as it was when first I read it so many years ago.

It is a dark story, set in a dark time, and depicts dark events. But there are good and proud moments, of fun and freedom and victory. There are moments that, if you are like me and "see" the book you are reading, your heart brings you to tears for the events depicted and the characters enduring them. For me, that is the mark of an EXCELLENT author... if I "see a movie" rather than simply hear words. This book is one such as that.

The most memorable moment to me was the postscript... the factual evidence pointing to the existence of Cassandra after the fall of Troy and of her success in making a legacy of her own that has survived to this day.

Yes, I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fictional history based on historical facts.

A very good renderng of Greek history
