This is the tale of Lukka, the Hittite soldier who traveled across Greece in search of the vicious slave traders who kidnapped his wife and sons. He tracks them all the way to war-torn Troy. There he proves himself a warrior to rank with noble Hector and swift Achilles. Lukka is the man who built the Trojan horse for crafty Odysseus, who toppled the walls of Jericho for the Isrealites, who stole beautiful Helen--the legendary face that launched a thousand ships--from her husband Menaleus after the fall of Troy and fought his way across half the known world to bring her safely to Egypt.

Industry Reviews

Excellent. A thrilling and inventive retelling of the legend of Troy. David Hagberg, New York Times bestselling author of The Expediter

mpletely convincing and emotionally satisfying; the adventure and warfare are gripping enough to keep me awake to finish the book in a single night. I hope that when I'm [Bova's] age, I'll be doing--as he is--the best work of my career. Orson Scott Card, New York Times bestselling author of Ender's Game

A cast of stars, all seen through the eyes of a Hittite warrior. With authentic battle scenes and the reality of siege warfare, THE HITTITE is an adventure you'll want to undertake. Barbara D'Amato, Mary Higgins Clark award-winning author of Foolproof

Bova gets better and better, combining plausible science with increasingly complex fiction. "Daily News (Los Angeles)"

Bova proves himself equal to the task of showing how adversity can temper character in unforeseen ways. "The New York Times"

[A] cautionary but hopeful thriller modern twists and a genuinely surprising ending. "Publishers Weekly on The Green Trap""
