[quote=""lauragill""]Is it any good? Can't get enough Bronze Age fiction.[/quote]
Sorry to be so late with this, Laura. I took a trip and decided to break with the internet and TV while I was out of town. As to Hand of Fire by Judith Starkston, I liked it. Judith is a classicist and her research into the Hittite culture shows. The book is about Briseis, so shows the Trojan War from the "captive woman" POV.
Also finished Freakonomics, which was fun, and nearly done with Nero: The End of a Dynasty for research. Don't know what I'm going into next.

Bitter Chocolate- The Dark Side of the World's Most Seductive Sweet by Carol Off.
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!
- "Into Battle"
