The author "has drawn a magnificent epic of the first Hellenic invasion of Troy characterized by the great valor and bravery of the Trojan people and heightened by one of the strongest love stories that Mr. Gerson has ever written." And for a guy who according to Wikipedia wrote 325 books and used nine pseudonyms in addition to his own name that's really saying something! And no it's not about Helen and that other dude. .
