About this listen

Beneath the gaze of the gods, the mighty armies of Greece and Troy met in fierce and glorious combat, scrupulously following the text set forth in Homer's timeless narrative. But that was before 21st-century scholar Thomas Hockenberry stirred the bloody brew, causing an enraged Achilles to join forces with his archenemy, Hector, and turn his murderous wrath on Zeus and the entire pantheon of divine manipulators; before the swift and terrible mechanical creatures that catered for centuries to the pitiful idle remnants of Earth's human race began massing in the millions, to exterminate rather than serve.

And now all bets are off.

Incredible story, how Simmons manages to weave sci fi and the classics together I will never know. This and the first book Ilium are modern classics. A must for any sci fi or indeed classics fans also.

Incredible story. So multifaceted.

Would you try another book written by Dan Simmons or narrated by Kevin Pariseau?

I would try another book by Dan Simmons but not narrated by Kevin

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator made the book so boring as if he is reading to half wits. I had to speed up the narration to be able to enjoy the book.

Was Olympos worth the listening time?

It was worth the listening time even with the slow narration

Intersting in a way

Long book yet it keeps you interested. Finally all the stories are connected and mysteries cleared (well almost all). I liked the humor and the way in which Dan Simmons combined different cultures.
