Taking the events and characters of the Iliad as his jumping off point, Dan Simmons has created an epic of time travel and savage warfare. Travellers from 40,000 years in the future return to Homer's Greece and rewrite history forever, their technology impacting on the population in a godlike fashion. This is broad scope space opera rich in classical and literary allusion from one of the key figures in 1990s world SF and marks a return to the genre for one of its greats.

  • If you are interested in ancient greek mythology, this book is for you ! However the plot is not so original, check Roger Zelazny's "God of Light", which has a very similar concept and written decades ago...
