Product Description
Tros of Samothrace is the Purple Pirate
The epic saga of the ancient world-Tros of Samothrace-draws to a conclusion in this sixth-and final-volume. Julius Caesar has been assassinated and Queen Cleopatra of Egypt finds herself in a perilous position and desperate for allies to secure her power. Mark Antony comes into her life and once again the plotting begins and once again Tros is drawn into danger. Great perils will have to be overcome before Tros can safely feel the deck of his purple sailed, serpent prowed ship beneath his feet and a fair wind at his back. This is another satisfying helping from Talbot Mundy-one of the finest writers of this genre and much admired by some of it's most famous exponents including Robert E Howard of Conan fame. All six Tros adventures are now available from Leonaur in complementing covers in hard and soft cover.

A Major Disappointment, Feb 11 2010

This review is from: Tros of Samothrace 6: The Purple Pirate (Paperback)
The adventures of Tros of Samothrace have been my favorite historical fantasies for more than forty years, and I have wished for the last twenty that someone would publish new hardbound editions. The Puple Pirate, in which Tros serves as Cleopatra's admiral, is my favorite volume, even though it is the dangling end of an unfinished series. Unfortunately, Leonaur's edition faithfully reproduces all the typos and production errors of their original text, and then adds a goodly number of their own. It is like driving over a badly potholed road at high speed in a good car. It is so disappointing that I have donated my copy to the local library, hoping that someone not knowing how much less the book is than it ought to be will find it good to read.
