just finished 'The Fall of Kings' after re-reading the first 2 and all I can say is wow.

This was the introduction of the new religion appearing in the world Gershom is Moses as can be seen in the refrences of the burning bush, the baby in the rushes/egyptian royal family, the desert people/prophet it would have made a good starting point for DG to create another story based on the old testament.
This is one of the very few stories that have the 'good guys' on both sides of a fight which gives the story more complexity
In the story you expect certain things to happen if you know the story of Troy but as usual David puts his own twists to what you know and keeps surprising you things you don't expect, and I am glad he didn't use the cliched 'wooden horse of troy' which would have been disapointing
