H.C. G. Cropsey’s first historical novel brings to life the sights, sounds and experience of ancient warriors, their leaders, nobles and slaves through the action of a small contingent of soldiers returning through a hostile environment to Troy. In the tradition of Bernard Cornwell and Michael Shaara combining comprehensive research and a keen ear for narration and historical personality, Cropsey displays an extraordinary ability to portray the violence and order of brutal ancient battle as well as a deft touch in exploring palace intrigue and more personal familial and human relations. In Defense Of Troy: The Prince’s Ascent will join the ranks of great historical fiction through its well-developed characters and dialogue in an easy to read and thrilling narration. Don’t miss! R.
