"Often readers today don’t appreciate quality description. But this is one of the best features of the Diomedeia. I felt I was “seeing” how the characters dressed, “tasting” the foods they ate, “travelling” through their landscapes and temples, and “participating” in the ecstatic ritual worship of the gods. With his colourful writing, the author puts the reader into the final months of the Bronze Age Hittite Empire."

"The author has an almost fanatical commitment to historical veracity while maintaining and incrementally escalating the dramatic suspense central to Diomedes' adventures within the Hittite kingdom, all the while remaining responsive to the intimate ties between humans and their gods."

"I knew nothing about the ancient history of the novel, but I still just loved my exciting journey through these pages. It had rich descriptions, colourful characters, adventure, brutal warfare, mythic quests, romance, and sex. What’s not to love?"

"Fans of Greek mythology will adore Nixon's characters, but it is the author's extraordinary gift for sparkling imagery that had me turning the pages. The setting is fully drawn, a wonderful fabric that clearly captures the traditions, beliefs, and politics of the time. ... I enjoyed everything, from the deft plotting to the larger-than-life characters, to the impeccable and vividly drawn setting. This novel is perfect for anyone looking for a historical adventure with memorable characters."
—Romuald Dzemom, The Book Commentary
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Much of this book is a strange mix of traditional rip roaring adventure and often intense philosophical musings on the nature of being. ... The Diomedeia is a long, ambitious, and at times challenging work into which the writer has painstakingly and lovingly poured a great deal of research. It is a blend of history and myth."
—D. K. Marley, Historical Fiction Company, Goodreads
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"A must-read for anyone with an interest in ancient history, mythology, or simply a well-crafted adventure story. Gregory Nixon's masterful storytelling and meticulous attention to detail make this book a standout in its genre. Whether you're a fan of Greek mythology or simply enjoy a good adventure, this book will not disappoint."
