Ramses' Puppets

It is 1260 BC: after ten long years, the Trojan War is coming to an end. This gripping historical novel tells the story of the final months of the Trojan War from the perspectives of Achilles, Hector and Agamemnon. Ostensibly, the war is between the Greeks and the Trojans, but the participants are aware that they are being manipulated by Pharaoh Ramses II (Zeus) of Egypt. Despite knowing this, Agamemnon wants Troy for himself, Hector wants Troy for his family and for honour, whilst Achilles wants Troy for power. During the turmoil of war a Trojan soldier, Halius, rises through the ranks of the Trojan army.



Parts 1 and 2 of "Ramses’ Puppets" combined are a stand-alone novel. However, "Ramses' Puppets" is also part of a two-novel series titled "The Trojan Chronicles" which closely follows the plot of Homer's "Iliad", taking the reader on a journey back in time over three thousand years. The other novel in the "Trojan Chronicles" is titled "Ramses – I am Zeus".
