I thought this was a cool read. Set in the early 1930s, a period that I'm quite fond of, it's the tale of a small aviation company run by veterans of the Great War and how they get involved in a dangerous, thrilling occult adventure with its roots back in ancient times. We have the three aviators, ...

Disclaimer: The publisher of this audio book gave me a free copy in return for a fair and honest review. I suppose I should note, in all fairness that since the book starts with a quote from Michael Wood’s In Search of the Trojan War I knew I was going to like it. I should also no...

Graham retells the story of Cleopatra though the viewpoint of her handmaid Charmian. While more historical fiction, this book does get put into the fantasy character not only because of the use of gods as characters, but also, most likely, because of the hints at the past life/reincarnation. ...

I enjoyed Graham's first novel, BLACK SHIPS--overall there I was impressed with how Graham drew from recent archeological and historic scholarship to bring to life the Late Bronze Age world--but I'm afraid I find STEALING FIRE less successful. With historical fiction, I want to enter that other wo...

Even though this book can be found in the fantasy aisle of the bookstore, there is little fantastical here that couldn't be rationalized, other than a few visions of prophecy. With Vergil's Aeneid as her basis, Graham uses the latest scholarship to recreate the late Bronze Age Mediterranean world. I...
