    • Abstract:
      This article presents information on several books. The book "Troy: Lord of the Silver Bow," by David Gemmell, encompasses the Trojan war, and features the priestess Andromache, the warrior Argurios and young prince Helikaon. The publisher is giving it an extremely stylish cover look which will certainly help. Another book "Pigtopia," by Kitty Fitzgerald, tells the truly original tale, narrated by Jack, who is physically deformed and the "freak" of his community, and whose life revolves around the pigs he rears in secret. The book "Adam Runaway," is a big, commercial historical novel set in 18th-century Lisbon, and featuring Adam Runaway, a young man who sets off for Portugal to restore his family fortunes, ruined by speculation on the South Sea Bubble.
