Talbot Mundy (1879-1940) is a little-known writer today, which is unfortunate. He was not only one of the masters of the adventure tale but a major force in the development of pulp fiction. He contributed to pulp magazines such as Adventure and Argosy and wrote 45 novels.
He was born in London but emigrated to the United States where he launched his literary career.
Tros of Samothrace, published in 1925, was the first of three novels chronicling the exploits of its hero Tros, the son of Perseus, Prince of Samothrace. Perseus is a high-ranking member of a mystical cult with international connections. The cult is not described in detail in the first novel but one of its key features is the renunciation of violence. That proves to be rather problematical when they encounter Julius Caesar, a man not renowned for renouncing violence. Perseus and Tros become captives of Caesar.
Tros agrees to go to Britain to ascertain the chances of success of an invasion, and if possible to persuade the Britons of the uselessness of opposing Caesar’s will. If his mission succeeds Caesar will release his father.
Tros does not quite share his fathers view’s on violence. He believes in avoiding bloodshed if possible, but if forced to do so he will most certainly fight and will prove himself to be a formidable warrior. Despite his differences with his father Tros is a minor functionary of the cult. The cult has links with druidism which will be useful to Tros in Britain.
Tros intends to obtain his father’s release but he has no intention of persuading the Britons to submit to Caesar. Far from it. He exhorts them to resist the Romans and to trust no promises they may make. He forges an alliance with Caswallon, a British king who has his capital at Cair Lunden, a bustling little town on the River Thames. Caswallon is an able leader although his attempts to unite the various British tribes meet with mixed success. One of Caswallon’s greatest assets is his wife Fflur. Apart from being an intelligent and resourceful woman she is gifted with the second sight.
Urged on by Tros Caswallon is determined to contest Caesar’s invasion, an invasion that is now imminent. The resistance to the Roman invasion as well as the daring scheme devised by Tros to not only rescue his father but to exact a measure of vengeance on the Romans occupy most of the book.
Mundy had ties with the Theosophy movement so the novel is an odd but interesting mixture, a stirring adventure tale with a subtle mystical tinge to it. There are no overt elements of the supernatural, save perhaps for Fflur’s gift of prophecy, but Tros’s vaguely spiritual and/or philosophical beliefs do play a role in the story and there is certainly a hint of destiny taking a hand.
Talbot Mundy’s work influenced such luminaries of pulp fiction as Robert E. Howard and Tros of Samothrace can be seen as one of the precursors of the sword & sorcery genre. The influence of an earlier generation of pulp writers, such as Mundy, on the the better-known pulp writers of the 20s and 30s is often overlooked.
Mostly though it’s a fine piece of adventure fiction as the Britons aided by Tros battle the Romans by land and sea. Thoroughly enjoyable, and recommended.

Oh, Zebra Books. *Shakes fist* The cover is a designer's nightmare, with ROBERT E HOWARD--a misleading comparison--in big black letters at the top, and the actual volume title in muddy orange four/five lines beneath. And, as I just figured out, Zebra chopped up the nine novellas in a way that matches no other editions. Pulp scholarship is so much fun.
Mundy's Tros of Samothrace informs Howard, and contrasts him. The Britons are barbaric, and also undisciplined and disorganized, reveling in personal glory and acquisition. In scenes that are repeated until tiresome, Tros has to cajole, shame, or bludgeon his crew into doing the tactically sane thing, or the thing that they originally agreed to.
Tros is full of gleefully clever mischief in a way that Howard's heroes never were, and he is more interested in using his enemies to gain his ends, rather than destroying them for honor's sake. This volume is a series of heists and exceedingly complicated plans that hinge on Tros's understanding of his enemies and their foibles.

In 55 BC, Tros, a sailor and son of a prince of Samothrace, is in England warning the populace of the coming of Julius Caesar. This could have been the makings of something stuffy and historical, but the reality is actually a pretty solid adventure story.
Talbot Mundy's Tros was written in 1925 and it is a tad heavy compared to much of what I usually read, weighed down by descriptions, footnotes, naval jargon, and several servings of dialogue. It also has action and a narrative continuously driven by the reminder that lives and freedoms are on the line. I started buying up Mundy's books because I knew he'd been an inspiration for Robert E. Howard, and on reading it I can see why!
Mundy doesn't really delve into a drug-like melodrama that his contemporaries indulged in, striving instead to make a story that usually feels fairly human and realistic. The book sometimes is bogged down in this since one can tire of obnoxious xenophobic Lundeners who sail poorly and can't stay focused long enough to beat off Rome.
This is essentially the same type of storytelling that made Burroughs and Howard so fun to read, given a hero with an exotic origin, a muscleman who is brainy and contemplative and must wrestle with cultures and populations to attain righteous goals. Tros is overpowered, but it's alright because his adventure is difficult enough for him. The element of the fantastic is present with mystic Druids and a clairvoyant queen, prophecies and secret religions as well.
Like I said, a lot of the drama could have been pushed a tad further, especially the bit where a popular Briton braggart tries to claim credit for Tros's naval victory. Tros spends much of his time plotting with others on the various trickeries to be employed in defeating Caesar and rescuing his father. Really, his only sin is being entirely too sober and not getting swept up in things.
The other books in this series are on my shelf and I do believe I will read those as well.

Talbot Mundy (1879-1940) is a little-known writer today, which is both unfortunate and ironic, since, like the equally *currently* underappreciated Harold Lamb, he was a writer that the now famous Robert E. Howard admired and wanted to be: a major force in the development of pulp fiction writing for the far more lucrative and admired Adventure and Argosy than Howard's usual home at Weird Tales. He would also write 45 novels. An Englishman who spent most of his life in America, Mundy's personal bio is also worth reading.
The Tros novels are both exciting "sword and sandals" historical fiction as well as proto -sword & sorcery. To be clear, the latter never overtly appears, but the trappings are there: mystery cults, wise-women with the second-sight (along with a rather uncanny success rate with their predictions), bits of Mundy's own Theosophy weaving into the rites and wisdom of the druids...etc. If magic isn't your thing, don't worry -- you can write it all off as the superstitious belief of 1st c BC people. If it is your thing, then you will enjoy seeing the prototype for the genre so beautifully created by Robert Howard, Henry Kuttner, Fritz Leiber, C.L. Moore, etc. Indeed, I would say -- but can't prove -- that Tros was likely in the back of Howard's mind as he was penning his tales of Bran Mak Morn and Cormac Mac Art, including a few of Mundy's anachronistic failings (ex. showing 1st c "Northmen" to be the spitting image of medieval Vikings). Tros even looks the part of a Howardian here: tall, powerfully built, black, square-cut mane....
Great. What's it about?
It's 55 BC and Julius Caesar is preparing his first invasion of Britain. Tros and his father are mariners from the isle of Samothrace, historically home to a little known Mystery Religion. Mundy speculates that the Samothracian Mysteries are part of a larger, "Great Mystery" tradition (there is the Theosophy coming out), and the priests who rule the island send father and son to Britain, ostensibly to trade, to warn the druids what is coming. Unfortunately, they are captured, most of the crew tortured and murdered by Caesar, and Tros and his father are pressed into Caesar's service. All of this is backstory -- where our tale begins, Tros has just arrived in Britain, tasked with persuading the local kings to submit to Caesar, his father a hostage. However, the mariner has his own ideas...
The story is fast, filled with twists, plots and sea-battles. Tros is very much Odysseus: a warrior, but one who first relies on careful plots, cunning, and outright lies and deceptions to manipulate his enemies. The portrayal of Caesar is fascinating: a man of great potency, power and dark charisma, but decidedly a narcissistic villain, who embodies the glory-seeking and tendency to self-aggrandizement of the patrician that is rushing the Roman Republic to its doom. Very much NOT the Caesar we tend to think of, certainly not how he was usually portrayed in the 1920s.
And that is the most interesting thing. I just finished a re-read of Rafael Sabatini's Captain Blood stories, and while I love them, his writing very much feels like it is of an earlier generation. Mundy, by contrast, feels at least as modern as writers like Leiber, Moorcock, or Wagner or any number of authors active in the third quarter of the 20th century, well after Mundy's death. His prose is far more contemporary and smooth, for example, than Edgar Rice Burroughs, although his nautical knowledge and archaisms may make a few of the sea-scenes a bit dense (then again, far less than a read of Patrick O'Brien, whom I love). Certainly, his prose Originally written as a series in an magazine, the first novel is a bit episodic, but still feels like a novel, not linked short-stories.
Overall, a really enjoyable swashbuckler, with a fantastic set of characters. If you like adventure-based his-fic or sword and sorcery, you should read Tros. It won't disappoint.

La aventura inicial de Tros de Samotracia se lleva tres estrellas que pueden ser más en sus continuaciones. No suelo leer novela histórica, pero esta saga de Talbot Mundy llamó mi atención hace ya tiempo.
En la primera entrega conocemos al protagonista y somos testigos de sus intrigas con los britanos para evitar la conquista de la isla por parte de Julio César. Aunque hay acción, la mayor parte de la novela pasa entre negociaciones entre jefes y algo más que conversaciones para meter en cintura a la tropa de marinos que a Tros le toca liderar.
No sé de historia, pero la ambientación y las descripciones suenan auténticas y están escritas con un vocabulario sencillo pero efectivo. A menudo, cuando hay una palabra o concepto antiguo, el libro tiene anotaciones para que no perdamos detalle.
Las estrategias de Tros a veces son complicadas y una me ha parecido contradictoria, pero hacen que la novela entretenga y no sea del todo predecible. En resumen, un buen comienzo que te deja con ganas de más, ya que el final es abrupto. Creo que sucede porque la historia original no estaba fragmentada en volúmenes de doscientas páginas.
Recomendado para aficionados a la novela histórica y en especial a la época romana.

I bought this book in 1967 and it only took me 50 years to get around to reading it! I had not read any Mundy, who wrote this story in the 1920s, before the pulp era took off in the 30s, and who clearly influenced the pulp writers. He has an idiosyncratic writing style, and a different take on the Greek (no, not Greek, Samothracean) hero. Torn by doubt, influenced by his pacifist father, and sometimes prone to error, Tros somehow manages to command a crew of unruly Britons, who at times hardly seem worth saving, in his fight against a very cruel and well-depicted Caesar. I doubt Mundy loved the sea very much; his depiction of sailing is dominated by sea-sickness and vomiting. I found the writing style at times too dense and old-fashioned, even difficult to follow, but clearly this book and its sequels are important in the history of the adventure genre, as well as entertaining in their own right.

Started pretty slow and had a higher-than-usual level of misogyny at the beginning even for the period and genre, but settled into a rollicking adventure once the action took to the sea.
Mundy does an outstanding job of describing the sailing and combat of longships and galleys. That's what makes this worth the read. Ending was really unsatisfying though, and I'm not sure I'm going to pick up the next one.

I stumbled on this work, hitherto unknown to me, by way of a mention in Heinlein's 'Glory Road'. I can see the appeal -- sort of a mix between Hornblower novels and Conan, set as historical fiction. In some ways dated, in other ways, quite timeless. I enjoyed it.

Super thrilled to have discovered this series and excited to read it with my students. We spend a lot of time reading works that praise Caesar - this series creatively and factually highlights a different view of the general.

Ok story. The action was decent, but the plot wasn't tight enough, and seemed a little rambling. Couldn't fully get into the protagonist's mindset. May try the second book, to see if it improves.

January 24, 2025
Eager to read Mundy's much-lauded tale of escapist literature, the paper-thin characters and their anachronistic principles ruined what could have been an entertaining yarn given its historical premise.
After the capture of his father by Julius Caesar, our intrepid hero, Tros, and his one-eyed monster, Conops, conspire with the Britons to defeat the impending Roman invasion of their island. This premise becomes stale amid endless seafaring between Gaul and Britain where crews always mutiny, rations always run low, and storms always occur. When the hero's father dies, Tros's motivation evaporates. To remedy this, Mundy introduces a romance interest; thus, Tros is no longer trying to save his father, but he must protect his wife. Such predictable "filler" disappoints.
Equally disappointing is the implausible number of times the villains are caught and released like salmon by Tros only to return and cause more trouble. The hero's forgiving nature becomes so irritating and unbelievable that the reader wants to hurl the book against the wall.
Tros' chivalry is the worst flaw of Mundy's tale. Although set in Iron Age Britain, Mundy's hero has the honor code of a Victorian gentleman. Although understandable given the 1920s target audience, the reality is that no wily intriguer in such cutthroat environs possessed such ethics. In reality, if a man betrayed you, you exiled him. If he betrayed you twice, you executed him. Those who lived long did so because they didn't blindly place their trust in others.
After reading the Viking tales by Arthur Howden-Smith and the Mongol stories by Harold Lamb, Mundy's works pale in comparison. His characters are cartoonish in their naivety and craftiness; indeed, they resemble the buffoonish heroes in René Goscinny's Astérix and Obelix comics.

Good, heroic fantasy. Not as brash, wild, or bloody as, say, Robert Howard's Conan. A solid historical feel to the story, though Talbot Munday is hardly to be considered a historical scholar, or an authority on much of anything except self-invention. As I was reading this, I came across the 1925 Adventure magazine that had the first section of this book in it. The Camp-Fires section of the magazine had a commentary on the story by Munday. It all sounded very good until he started going off about the mysteries of Samothrace and modern Freemasonry. All in all, a classic of the genre and still worth reading.
May 11, 2014
I read this book years ago for the first time when it came out in paperback published by Avon Books in the US. Previously all I had of Mundy was a couple of his Indian novels (such as Grimjim) and the Grove press edition of the Purple Pirate (borrowed from the Library in NYC). Mundy was a good, workmanlike story teller and is still worth reading....

I was interested in the view of Caeser from the Druid perspective. I thought it was very interesting and had some interesting history and views. The Isle of Samothrace in the Mediterranean was something else I had some interest in. I read it about 10 years ago and really enjoyed it at the time.
