When the lion-motifed sails of Agamemnon appear on the horizon, Odysseus knows that the time for peace is over and a new era of war is beginning.  Helen of Sparta has been abducted by a prince of Troy and the hosts of ancient Greece are gathering.  

As the greatest names flock to join the crusade, only Achilles is missing. Odysseus must use all his wits and cunning to hunt him down and persuade him to join their cause. For without Achilles, the gates of Troy will never fall…
