The Four Horsemen

The Four Horsemen

By Rupert Stanbury

Genre:-Greek & Roman/Humorous Fiction

Pages:-337

Blurb:-The Four Horsemen is the second book in the Gods Galore series about the Olympian Gods in the 21st Century.

 The Gods are still trying to control what we humans are up to. Unfortunately, they're not being particularly successful. The world is experiencing both plague and famine which Zeus and the Gods' Council never approved, What's going on?

 Athene is determined to find out, but before she can get going the God of War initiates an attack on Poseidon's realm. It's now all out conflict and the gods are taking sides-one side, in particular.

 Whenever there's a fight, Hebe's bound to be involved. She soon signs up to an army regiment which is full of soldiers even smaller than she is. But war these days involves brains and not just brawn and there's plenty of both ready to be deployed on this fight!

 A mixture of Comedy and Fantasy, The Four Horsemen should appeal to readers of Terry Pratchett and Rick Riordan (Perry Jackson).

 Rupert Stanbury is a Cambridge graduate who previously had a professional and business career. He has always been an avid reader and recently decided to take up writing himself. His first book, Gods Galore, was published in November 2021.

My Review:-This is Book Two in the 'Gods Galore' series about the Olympian Gods in the 21st Century AD. I had the pleasure of reading and review Rupert's first book and this one hasn't disappointed me. This book can be read as a standalone, but I would recommend reading book one first. This book is filled to the brim with humour and laughter, which we all need. Rupert has brought the Gods and Goddesses into the 21st Century  in a way that only he could do. We have Mars, in talks with Tyrant of Tyrantland to start a war. I do like Death the most, especially when he's thinking about a Mrs Death and retiring to Bournemouth, as well as having to hand down all he knows to Mister Death. It's definitely Death having a mid-death crisis. I'm not going to give anything away, this is a book that you have to read for yourself, and make sure your not around a lot of people because once you start to laugh you won't stop

 I've never been one for the Greek Gods, not even at school, but Rupert puts a different light on them, one that you can't help but love them.
