Summary
The gods walk again....
When Marine Corps pilot Jacob Merely crashes during a routine mission off the coast of Cyprus, he was sure it was game over.
After surviving the crash and pulling himself onto the sandy shores of a long-abandoned island, however, Jacob unwittingly stumbles headfirst into the ancient ruins of a dead city. Unfortunately, he also stumbles into an age-old battle between good and evil - and he is now its newest recruit.
The island once belonged to the Amazons, daughters of Ares, the God of War, and stood as the final bastion between the human world and the monstrosities of the Great Below. But Jacob’s arrival has awakened the old gods and disturbed the seal holding the ravaging darkness at bay.
Now, with the help of a sacred gem containing Ares’ power, Jacob must recreate the Amazonian defenders of humanity and fortify the island stronghold. And if he fails, Hades will unleash his army of the damned and the world of men will fall, giving rise to an age of walking nightmares.
"You had me at mythology. You sold me at the crafting, game mechanics, great characters, and serious action. From start to finish, War God's Mantle delivers. Do not miss this book!" (Harmon Cooper, author of Fantasy Online and The Feedback Loop series)

Love this so much.
Fantastic book. Can't wait for book 2. Tasteful adult humour and battles between monsters from Greek mythology. Fantastic... 5 stars *****

Okay but could not engage me
Could not finish the book. Not sure why, but I just did not care for any of the characters or have any emotional attachment. Had a good premise, no long winded reading of stats updates every 10 mins like other books and an interesting plot. Narrator did a good job with different voices but in think struggled with all the female voices and being a book about Amazon's the are a lot of female voices; could of perhaps worked better with a female narrator. The constant use of the leaf character's name was my real bug bear, it seemed to be used every few sentences and just kept making think back to "Scrooge" every time if was said.

Great Detailed Epic
As a fan of previous works by James Hunter i was expecting great things and the detailed world building wa excellent. not sure the war god route works as well as say his viridian gate series as the start is a little rocky with the flow. It does pick up tho and by the end we are in full flow with a thoughly enjoyable adventure.
The very very end does fall slightly flat as maybe a little rushed and not what i expected but does not stop me from looking forward to the 2nd adventure.
Narration worked very well i thought.
This was a story i asked for and as such is based on my own opinion.
