Book description
Greece is a country in turmoil, divided by feuding kingdoms desiring
wealth, power and revenge.
When Eperitus, a young exiled soldier, comes to the aid of a group of
warriors in battle, little does he know that it will be the start of an
incredible adventure. For he is about to join the charismatic Odysseus,
Prince of Ithaca, on a vital quest to save his homeland.
Odysseus travels to Sparta to join the most famous heroes of the time
in paying suit to the sensuous Helen. Armed with nothing but his wits
and intelligence, he must enter a treacherous world of warfare and
politics to compete for the greatest prize in Greece. But few care for
the problems of an impoverished prince when war with Troy is beckoning .
. .
An epic saga set in one of the most dramatic periods of history, King

America, and had his collar bone broken by a bull in Pamplona.
Glyn was a reservist in the paras for three years and now works for a
building society. He is married with two daughters and lives in Market
Harborough.
