Sinopsis
Agamemnon Rising is the opening novel of the completed seven-book House of Atreus saga. It's a sweeping fusion of Greek mythology, historical epic, science fiction, and dark fantasy, for readers who like their legends brutal and uncensored.
Before Troy burned. Before the greatest tragedy in Greek mythology, there was a family already drowning in blood.
Long before he became the legendary King of Mycenae, Agamemnon was a hunted exile fighting to reclaim a stolen throne.
His father committed atrocities that poisoned generations. His enemies want him dead. The woman he loves has become the wife of a rival king. Surrounded by betrayal, blood feuds, and rival kingdoms, every victory brings him closer to the destiny he cannot escape.
But history got one thing wrong.
The gods were never gods. They just wanted men to believe.
Apollo. Artemis. The Oracle at Delphi. The voices that guided kings for generations. But not gods at all. They are ancient intelligences. Remnants of a forgotten civilization whose original purpose was to guide humanity. Now they are corrupted into manipulating it through prophecy, fear, and belief.
As Agamemnon rises from refugee to warrior to king, every victory comes with a price. The gods have their own designs for him. His enemies have their own claims. His path to greatness leads inexorably toward an altar where a father will one day raise a knife over his own daughter.
The first sails from Troy are already on the horizon.
The game has begun.

Acerca del autor
Before he argued cases and arbitrated disputes, A. B. Goodman spent his undergraduate years immersed in the classical world - studying Greek and Roman history and the mythological traditions that shaped Western civilization. He never entirely left that world behind.He now brings a trial lawyer's instinct for human motivation and moral complexity. His science fiction trilogy, SINGULARITY set in 2034-36, explores artificial intelligence, corrupted power, and the fragile boundary between guidance and control - themes that, he eventually realized, had also been playing out in the ancient world. The HOUSE OF ATREUS saga traces immortal intelligences across three thousand years of human history.He is also the author of the critically acclaimed Wall Street legal and financial techno-thriller, "The Bank."
