Story
For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

Publisher's summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The number one best seller.
An epic battle that lasted 10 years. A legendary story that has survived thousands.
Troy. The most marvellous kingdom in all the world. The Jewel of the Aegean. Glittering Ilion, the city that rose and fell not once but twice....
When Helen, the beautiful Greek queen, is kidnapped by the Trojan prince Paris, the most legendary war of all time begins.
Listen in awe as a thousand ships are launched against the great city of Troy.
Feel the fury of the battleground as the Trojans stand resolutely against Greek might for an entire decade.
And witness the epic climax - the wooden horse, delivered to the city of Troy in a masterclass of deception by the Greeks....
In Stephen Fry's exceptional retelling of our greatest story, Troy will transport you to the depths of ancient Greece and beyond.

"Hugely successful, graceful." (The Times)

The Best of Troy
Again a great recount of the popular story. Great narration by the author SF. As Myths and Heroes is bringing the classical to a modern era without losing the essence of the story.

Stephen fry, you are a marvel.
Following up on Stephen's previous books on the series, I am still drawn like a moth to a flame to his exquisite performance and storytelling. My already strong love for Greek history and myth only grow stronger. Thank you so much. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Fry and Homer 10/10
Perfect, flawless, marvelous.
Highly recommend this volume and his two preceding volumes of Mythos and Heroes.
Can't wait for Fry to tackle the Odyssey.

another amazing book
just another amazing book by Stephen Fry who by all means should be granted Greek citizenship.
not only it makes a very well-told story compelling but his own performance in narrating this book makes it worthwhile to read and read again or listen and listen again

Good old stories
Having learnt about the old Greeks in primary school this book provides a perfect retelling of the stories refreshes my memories.
Having listened to Mythos, Heroes and now Troy, I am waiting impatiently for the next book. That would be the Odyssey.

Fry does it again!
One cannot have higher expectations when listening to Stephen Fry and Troy, given his very exciting Mythos and Heroes books. Mr. Fry delivers and exceeds the expectations set by his previous successes in my opinion. His delivery is bar none and his take on the mythology/history is truthful and, for someone that is truly knowledgeable on the subject, his opinion is very much appreciated.
Highly recommended audiobook for everyone!
