The Fall of the Phoenix
I was given an ARC in exchange for a review. Many thanks to Daniel for sending me this excellent book.This is a self-published novel that you MUST not miss. It has alternate history, fantasy, heroic action, excellent attention to details of fighting, city street combat. This will take you on a journey to Troy.I loved the characters, the way Daniel has interpreted the novel and it is clear hes done his research. The plot of this novel is so good, that I will not spoil the twists or ending that
Full disclosure - the author gave me a free copy of the book, but having said that I wouldn't have reviewed it unless I'd enjoyed it.( Or I'd really hated it to the point that keeping quiet would have annoyed me, I suppose.) Fortunately, the former was true. This is a hugely entertaining slice of historical fiction, drawing on historical source with a little tweaking to make it work better as fiction. It's a debut novel (so far as I'm aware) and there's a little roughness especially at the
Irish Author. Born in Donegal on the northern edge of the wild Atlantic way. If you have never been, I highly recommend that you visit and you will see exactly why I love history. Great teachers and a love of good historical fiction authors broadened my love of ancient history to a worldwide level. I would love to have a go at writing some of our own amazing Irish legends one day.
I took liberties with the red cloaks but they did help agamemnon take back mycaenea so I figured they were already a force to inspire fear

I have to admit my knowledge of the Trojan war is just what Ive picked up from movies and TV, but I found Kellys book to be quite enthralling which I wasnt sure about before I began to read it. The writing is very visual and this would make a great adaption for a movie or mini-series.

Explanation During Books The Fall of the Phoenix
The long siege of Troy, the battles fought over it, and the city's eventual capitulation and incineration are events which have often been retold since their first recitation by Homer. Seldom, however, will they have been narrated with such close attention to the minute particulars of battle, to its reek and terror and pain, as in this startling account by Daniel Kelly. Kelly looks minutely at every detail of archaic combat, as well as at the lives and feelings shaped by it. His Troy is not only a scene of shining glory, but also a grimy struggle for survival and mastery. And he introduces surprising questions: what if not everything in the Trojan war came to pass just as Homer tells us? What if the future of the Roman empire were hidden in the burning ashes of Troy's - and not in the way we might expect?List Books In Favor Of The Fall of the Phoenix
