I have been drawn to Dan Simmons before and this is part 1 of a two part epic and it is hard to grasp the scale of it. One day Capt James T Kirk was flying thru space as he does and a hand closed over the Enterprise holding it fast. A nearby God was curious. I remember that episode and this book has that type of theme, the Iliad comes to space. They are all there and more, Hector, Achilles, Zeus and they live on Mars these days and let's not omit the Little Green Men. In this saga the Greeks and the Trojans have joined forces with the LGMs and they are not happy with the Gods. Onto part two.
