A romp through historical epics.

If you could sum up Vengeance of Orion in three words, what would they be?

Researched, Fun, Epic

Who was your favorite character and why?

Orion - he is the the focus of the book. We get to know his inner-being with a clarity rarely known in other novels.

Which character – as performed by Stefan Rudnicki – was your favorite?

He does a pretty good Helen of Troy. All of his performances of female characters are credible and not off-putting.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It's a fun time as each historical event is resolved in a more realistic way.

Any additional comments?

You will enjoy this if you enjoyed studying the epics in school.

Book #2 of the Orion series is a mixture of history, fantasy and science fiction. It begins with the Iliad story and continues through Egypt and is set in the bronze age. Main character is a person of heroic proportions, not quite a Greek god, but nearly so. He escorts Helen of Troy through some post-Trojan war experiences. Fun story and on to book #3.
