About 'Ilium'
Ilium is a very particular science-fiction novel, inspired to The Iliad by Homer. But it goes beyond, and evolves into a very complex and fascinating plot. A great novel from a great writer!
Sinopsys (From the back cover)
From the towering heights of Olympos Mons on Mars, the mighty Zeus and his immortal family of gods, goddesses, and
demigods look down upon a momentous battle, observing - and often influencing - the legendary exploits of Paris,
Achilles, Hector, Odysseus, and the clashing armies of Greece and Troy.
Thomas Hockenberry, former twenty-first-century professor and Iliad scholar, watches as well. It is Hockenberry's
duty to observe and report on the Trojan War's progress to the so-called deities who saw fit to return him from the dead.
But the muse he serves has a new assignment for the wary scholic, one dictated by Aphrodite herself. With the help of fortieth-century
technology, Hockenberry is to infiltrate Olympos, spy on its divine inhabitants... and ultimately destroy Aphrodite's
sister and rival, the goddes Pallas Athena.
On an Earth profoundly changed since the departure of ht Post-Humans centuries earlier, the great events on the
bloody plains of Ilium serve as mere entertainment. Its scenes of unrivaled heroics and unequaled carnage add
excitement to human lives devoid of courage, strife, labor and purpose. But this eloi-like existence is not enough for
Harman, a man in the last year of his last Twenty. That rarest of post-postmodern men - an "adventurer" - he intends
to explore far beyond the boundariesof his world before his allotted time expires, in search of a lost past, a
devastating truth, and an escape from his own inevitable "final fax".
Meanwhile, from the radiation-swept reaches of Jovian space,four sentient machines race to investigate - and, perhaps,
terminate - the potentially catastrophic emissions of unexplained quantum-flux emenating from a mountain-top miles above
the terraformed surface of Mars...
