Beschreibung des Verlags
Combine the American legend of the great road trip with the Greek epic of Ulysses returning from the Trojan War and you get an original: a novel about an Afghanistan War veteran using the byroads of the continent to heal his horrors and deal with his demons. --Wally Gordon
Having finished his tour as a Marine in Afghanistan, Leo Lewis sets out on a road trip across America back to his wife and a young son he has never met, but Nausicaa and Circe set out to lure him, and the Greek gods watch for ways to help or hinder him. --Claudia Hauer, Professor St. Johns College Discharged from the Marines after three tours in Afghanistan, Leo Lewis is on his way home -- like another warrior 3,000 years ago. And as Leo crosses the country, the challenges faced by Homer's greatest hero confront him as well. Cyclops, Circe, Scylla, Charybdis, and more all are waiting for him in dramatic, enchanting, frightening, and funny adventures reimagined through the lens of today's realities.
