Re: David Gemmel. imlad Send a noteboard - 02/09/2009 01:40:51 AM
Who wrote the "Troy books" and what are the titles?? Dying to read that! Screw Roman historical fiction (which I LOVE) lets read about Achilles and Hector!!! (and NOT Dan Simmon's SF take on it, pfah!)


Troy: Lord of the Silver Bow (2005)
Troy: Shield of Thunder (2006)
Troy: Fall of Kings (2007)

Enjoy.

Have you read Whyte's series? You might want to put that on your list if you haven't. I am working at not over-pimping books.


I'm guessing I haven't since his name isn't familiar to me. Please, don't tease...
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

Anything that you want to pimp, Elaine? Nobody pimps better than you do. *NM* Tashmere - 31/08/2009 09:37:30 PM 507 Views
Mr Elaine says he's the pimp, but never mind him and what he thinks. Elaine - 14/09/2009 01:37:22 PM 1049 Views

just add HF as a "topic" for new posts, but keep it on this MB. Easy enough right? *NM* imlad - 01/09/2009 06:30:25 PM 507 Views
