About this listen

Beneath the gaze of the gods, the mighty armies of Greece and Troy met in fierce and glorious combat, scrupulously following the text set forth in Homer's timeless narrative. But that was before 21st-century scholar Thomas Hockenberry stirred the bloody brew, causing an enraged Achilles to join forces with his archenemy, Hector, and turn his murderous wrath on Zeus and the entire pantheon of divine manipulators; before the swift and terrible mechanical creatures that catered for centuries to the pitiful idle remnants of Earth's human race began massing in the millions, to exterminate rather than serve.

And now all bets are off.

A quite remarkable epic combining wild fantasy with classical erudition. Long, but always engaging. Highly recommended.

Superb entertainment

This guy reads like he's reading a news report. Just terrible. Go audition for a news anchor door somewhere else. Great story, but just painful to listen to.

Good story, awful narration

That one rape scene that they spent two chapters convincing the reader that it didn’t need to be in the book? That is just the start.

This author has issues with sex.
