Book Description

Ilium blends Homeric epic with far-future science fiction, reimagining the Trojan War as it is reenacted on Mars by godlike beings with advanced technology. As scholars resurrected from the past, post-human observers, and sentient machines follow and influence events, multiple narratives collide across time and space. Playful, erudite, and ambitious, the novel explores war, storytelling, technology, and the enduring power of myth.
