'Chasing Odysseus is an alternative telling of both the Iliad and the Odyssey. The story pulls together the tales of Homer and the Greek mythology against which the great bard told those tales. It answers the question of how the Trojans survived a ten year siege behind the walls of the citadel, by using the actual myth of Agelaus the herdsman to create a forgotten people, the Herdsmen of Mount Ida. Chasing Odysseus weaves into the Odyssey - it does not contradict Homer but provides another story within the Greek epic.'

'Machaon, Cadmus, Lycon and Hero return to the ruins of Troy to confront disaster. Once again the Herdsmen of Ida are caught in unfolding legend - facing monsters, murderers and the gods at war, in a desperate attempt to challenge what the fates have decreed.'

'As empires fall and are founded anew, the Herdsmen of Ida join the refugees of Troy in search of a vague destiny promised by fickle gods. Amidst disaster, monsters, heresy and war they risk not only their lives, but their hearts, to twist the treacherous threads of fate and deny the desperate demands of blood.'
