"Helen of Troy awakes just before dawn to the sound of air raid sirens."
Is that a good start of a book or what?! I started reading Dan Simmons' Olympos again. It's a sci-fi epic that sets the battle of Troy in an alternative universe. The imagination this guy has is almost unmatched by any other so if you get a chance to get a hold of Ilium (the start of the story) and Olympos you will not regret it.
In LotRO related news - US and their lorebook have been extended with Google Maps functionality. The official info goes like this:
