Formerly published as Talisman of Troy!!! Kakha OK. I was duped. There is not a single word about this book here at Amazon, so I did not know they simply changed the title. I really like the author and decided to buy this book despite having no information about it - I knew it would well be worth the money. Turns out it is the book I have already read. Of course, I will not rate down this great book because I accidentally got a second copy of it.I had read and LOVED Talisman of Troy. Just as I did Manfredi's other historical fiction novels.

But destiny has other plans for him. Another grandiose and brutal epic of the ancient world from the bestselling author of the Alexander trilogy A castaway tossed onto a deserted beach is the last survivor of a world that no longer exi
