Product Description


The Trojan War is over and the Greeks have lost, returning home to a country fractured by defeat while Prince Hector of Troy dreams the dream of Empire. For Odysseus, the Fates have rewritten his epic tale of adventure that lasted twenty long years and the man the world has come to know as its greatest traveler/adventurer has arrived home to the tiny island kingdom of Ithaka to lick his wounds and reassemble his life. Glad to be shut of war, he begins the process of rebuilding only to have his plans upset by rumors of political unrest and the death of a tyrant. Forced to travel to the mainland to attend the funeral games for a fallen king, he is plunged into a murder mystery that could set Greece on the path of a brand new, devastating war. Can Greece's most clever hero outsmart a villain who knows him quite well? Can he defy legendary monsters, the spirits of vengeance and even the Gods to solve the world's first whodunnit?


About the Author


Born in Helsinki, Finland (The Land of the Uncommonly Stubborn), Mark Everett Stone arrived in the U.S. at a young age and promptly dove into the world of the fantastic. Starting at age seven with the Iliad and the Odyssey, he went on to consume every scrap of Norse Mythology he could get his grubby little paws on. At age thirteen he graduated to Tolkien and Heinlein, building up a book collection that soon rivaled the local public library's. In college Mark majored in Journalism and minored in English. The newspaper business wasn't for him, so he did what every good writer does: find work in a wide variety of fields that included catering, bartending, and restaurant management. After getting married, he sold Hyundais (before they became popular) and, because he lives in Colorado, Subarus. Eventually he matured enough to be able to sit down and just write. Currently Mark is working on his newest novel "Omaha Stakes" and has two more coming out very soon. Recently, he has been featured in the Arts and Entertainment section of the Denver Post. To be released Jan 1, 2014: Chicago, the Windigo City, the fourth in the BSI series, which is garnering rave reviews.
