Its final throes will echo through eternity... 1258 BC: Surrounded and outnumbered by the army of Agamemnon, King Priam and his Trojan forces fight desperately to defend their city. In the lulls between battle, all talk inevitably turns to the mighty ally that has not yet arrived to their aid. Agamemnon will weep for mercy, the Trojans say, when the eastern horizons darken with the endless ranks of the Hittite Empire. King Hattu has endured a miserable time since claiming the Hittite throne. Vassals distance themselves while rival empires circle, mocking him as an illegitimate king. Worst of all, the army of the Hittites is but a memory, destroyed in the civil war that won him the throne. Knowing that he must honour his empire's oath to protect Troy, he sets off for Priam's city with almost nothing, praying that the dreams he has endured since his youth - of Troy in ruins - can be thwarted. All the way, an ancient mantra rings in his head: Hittites should always heed their dreams. -- $c back cover. 600 00 $a Hattusilis $b III, $c King of the Hittites, $d active 1275 B.C.-1250 B.C. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hittites $x Kings and rulers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hittites $x History $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Bronze age $z Aegean Sea Region $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Kadesh, Battle of, Kadesh, ca. 1300 B.C. 651 0 $a Kadesh (Extinct city) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Action and adventure fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 800 1 $a Doherty, Gordon, $d 1978- $t Empires of bronze ; $v Bk.5 941 $a 1 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305021354.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FA2A600C63BD11ECAE2521E037ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
