Do it. They're not his best books, his Rigante and Drenai novels are far better. But its a fantastic take on the Trojan war, of course its still fictional but it gives you such a superb insight into that paticular time period, so much so that you can almost believe its all entirely true. His take on the city of Troy falling to the famed 'Trojan Horse' was cleverly done. Although to be fair I kind of new he was going that way with the horse from day 1, he already hinted at it in the Lion of Macedon series. Apparently this is the trilogy he always wanted to write, and you can tell he used some of his older novels to try out plots and ideas to see how they would work. Its just a shame he never lived to finish it.
Yes I'm a book geek. Shut up.
