A team of sentient robots from Jupiter's lunar system embark on a mission to Mars, where they find a race of metahumans living out existence as the Greek gods of Olympus. These "gods" have recreated the Trojan War with reconstituted Greeks and Trojans, staffing it with scholars from Earth's history who observe the events and ensure their accuracy to Homer's Iliad. One of these scholars, Thomas Hockenberry, finds himself tangled in the midst of the interplay between the gods and their playthings, and sends the war reeling in a direction Homer could have never imagined.

El Asedio -Historic Novel,
By
This review is from: Ilion I: El asedio (Paperback)
An excellent exposition of Spain under Napoleonic occupation and of life in Cadiz at that time. Coincides with many of the latin american wars of independence as the colonies took advantage of Spain's weakness.
While not as good as El Club Dumas, which I doubt that the author will ever surpass, it is nonetheless an excellent read. Some of the use of naval argot and the Spanish of 200 years ago (especially in the lengthy descriptive passages) can make it a bit difficult for those who do not have Spanish as a first language. Well worth the effort, however.
