Critics Review
I missed my stop reading chapter three. This feels effortless, weightless. Wonderful
A brilliant retelling of the epic legend with real flesh and blood characterisation and Tony’s trademark descriptiveness that transports the reader directly to the setting and makes it feel real and lived in. Fine work from an historical novelist at the top of his game!
Anthony Riches is a writer at the peak of his power. Swords of Troy is a superb retelling of one of history’s greatest stories, a masterful combination of scholarship and storytelling that places the reader in the battle line on the Trojan plain, sword in hand, with some of the great Heroes of the ages
A gripping and vividly reimagined tale of Troy, told with the authority and flair of a master long steeped in martial stories of the ancient world
