An action-packed adventure combining history and myth. A vivid first-hand account of the quest for the Golden Fleece. This is a fast-paced rendition of the classic legend of Jason and the Argonauts which will appeal to anyone who loves adventure books. Told as a vivid, realistic account of the times, it is full of blood, battle and shattered myths. Recounted through the eyes of the ship's boy, Pylos, Voyage with Jason chronicles a quest through uncharted waters to unknown lands, seeking a fabulous treasure which is guarded by a fearsome monster. The Argonauts encounter disaster, intrigue and deception, and are exposed as all too human characters shrouded in mystery. This is a wonderfully absorbing book which readers will be unable to put down until they reach the dramatic ending. Pylos is my name. All the name I have. And this story was mine before the bards shaped it into legend; the legend of Jason and Hercules, and all the Argonaut heroes who dared the unknown seas for gold and glory... and who were all touched by the dark cold power of the Gods and by fate...
