The Ships of Minos 2. The Ships of Minos, #2

A European best-selling Bronze Age saga, finally in English. The next Minos raises his stone double-axe and strikes dead the sacrificial bull. The priestesses of Great Mother, topless and wrapped in snakes, intone a hymn of praise. The assembled subjects join in a howl of ovation. Thus, the new ruler of Eternal Crete is enthroned."I love you, " says the new Minos to his younger brother, "but politics compels me not to trust you."Out of my love for you, I prefer not to kill you but to send you away to the ends of this earth to where the magical amber grows."It will be a long an dangerous journey from which you may never return and no one will know whither you have gone."Some may think this a terrible fate, but others may note that you have preserved your life and I have preserved my kingdom."And they shall praise my wisdom."Whitehair, the Trojan hero of the series, enters the service of Vidvoyos, the younger brother of the new Minos.
This fateful decision will take him to the very edge of the world, where wild men sacrifice their kings and build stone circles in praise of the sun and where water turns to stone. Open the double doors of the horizon, unlock its bronze bolts: Pick up your copy today!
