About this listen

The war of Troy is looming, and all the kings of the Great Green are gathering, friends and enemies, each with their own dark plans of conquest and plunder.

Into this maelstrom of treachery and deceit come three travellers: Piria, a runaway priestess nursing a terrible secret; Kalliades, a warrior with a legendary sword; and Banokles, who will carve his own legend in the battles to come.

Shield of Thunder takes the listener back into the glories and tragedies of Bronze Age Greece, reuniting the characters from Lord of the Silver Bow: the dread Helikaon and his great love, the fiery Andromache, as well as the mighty Hektor and the fabled storyteller, Odysseus.

This series is amazing! this is my second time reading/ listing to it. you will never want to put it down! the reader makes the story come to life with his voice acting!

Needs to be the next game of thrones!

I was led to this book after listening to many of Bernard Cornwell’s classics. This story — and the fantastic narration— made the sometimes stodgy Ancient Greek tale come to life!

Amazing

This book is beautifully written and the narrator performed perfectly. This trilogy needs to become a tv series. It could be better than a game of thrones.

WOW!

Lord of the Silver Bow is a tale so full of Hope and optimism, but we all know how the Trojan War ends. This book, though still thrilling and beautifully written, marks the turn that leads us back to where we know things must go. It's more than a little heartbreakingly, and as badly as I want to continue down this path (and I certainly will, as The Fall of Kings is now downloading) I wish we could go back before everything became so.. broken.

Thomas Judd, as before, is a fantastic narrator.

Discouraging, but necessarily and beautifully so

So far the story keeps me interested, but only because of familiarity with names and events as handed down in textbooks. I am beginning to think that Gemmell is not writing my favorite genre.

Gemmell is amazing and I wish that this series was more popular and had a film adaptation. Being that its historical fiction, it takes many liberties with the source material but masterfully crafts the narrative to resemble what we know of Homers work. And Judds amazing narrative skill adds to the entertainment that is this series. Ive read (and listened) to many books in my time and this series is still my all time favorite. I read this series every few months beginning to end and its still fascinating. Please read it. You will not be disappointed.

A wonderful SERIES

Ending sucked!

Loved it! Although it did slow down toward the middle-end. Preparing for an all action third book. One of Gemmels best series in my opinion. Narrator great as usual!

Great book overall
