Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey are unquestionably two of the greatest epic masterpieces in Western literature. Though more than 2,700 years old, their stories of brave heroics, capricious gods, and towering human emotions are vividly timeless. The Iliad can justly be called the world’s greatest war epic. The terrible and long-drawn-out siege of Troy remains one of the classic campaigns. The Odyssey chronicles the many trials and adventures Odysseus must pass through on his long journey home from the Trojan wars to his beloved wife.

Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Desert Oath by Oliver Bowden, read by John Banks.
Before Assassin's Creed Origins, there was an Oath.
Egypt, 70BC, a merciless killer stalks the land. His mission: to find and destroy the last members of an ancient order, the Medjay - to eradicate the bloodline. In peaceful Siwa, the town's protector abruptly departs, leaving his teenage son, Bayek, with questions about his own future and a sense of purpose he knows he must fulfill. Bayek sets off in search of answers, his journey taking him along the Nile and through an Egypt in turmoil, facing the dangers and the mysteries of the Medjay's path.

Not what I had hoped
I love the Assassin's Creed games and wanted the background story before starting Origins. Even with my rating of three stars, I'm still glad I did. The writing itself was good but I think it could have been made much better with some concentrated self-editing by the author. My feeling was that the talent is there, but that there was also a rush to get the book out. Other reviewers of the book are correct, it all feels like a YA level novel and rather superficial. Still, a nice story. The narrator was talented but two points kept chipping away at my enjoyment here: First was that the female voices sounded very fake, for example it was hard to image the "smiled warmly" description after a stretch of Aya's dialogue. The voice didn't sound either warm or happy; And second was that too often the spoken dialogues were a mix of pauses and then rushed speech like you might hear from someone bursting to explain something in a foreign language they have yet to master. I found it hard to get into the characters when I constantly had the impression that everyone was trying too hard to speak English (English??). I assume it may have been the narrator's attempt to sound foreign, but whatever the reason, I didn't feel like I was either in Egypt or in any of the characters' skins. Still love the AC games. The background story here was nice to experience. If I had to choose again, I think I'd read the book instead so that the characters' voices can ring more true in my mind.

Really enjoyed my first Assassin Creed book..
Really enjoyed my first Assassin Creed book.. The narration by John Banks, made it more real with feeling etc, took me to the Egyptian deserts and into the story. I wish the rest of the series were narrated by him. I would purchase them all. I won't be purchasing any narrations by GC, as listening to every single sample, he does not have any passion when reading, sounds like elocution lessons.
