Praise for Troy: Shield of Thunder…

“This is how the oldest tales should be read and known. Gemmell is a master of plot, but his triumph is creating men and women so real that their trials are agony and their triumph is glorious.”
—Conn Iggulden

“David Gemmell carries us away to a four-cornered, wholly convincing cosmos, so masterfully done that the reader thinks ‘Ah, this is what it was really like.’”
—Stephen Pressfield

“To anyone who enjoys an action-packed historical epic.”
—Joanne Harris

“The loyalties and betrayals, the love and the hate, the endless, everlasting courage of the men — and the women — of both sides are brought to life in this vivid, inspirational recreation of the Troy myth.”
—Manda Scott
