Some readers might find the brutality and explicit scenes a bit much - this story doesn’t shy away from graphic violence or adult content. If you like your mythology accurate, you’ll spot a few mythological liberties that could be frustrating.

From The Publisher:
The Olympians appeared a decade ago, living incarnations of the Ancient Greek gods on a mission to bring permanent order and stability to the world. Resistance has proved futile, and now humankind is under the jackboot of divine oppression.
Until former London police officer Sam Akehurst receives an invitation too tempting to turn down: the chance to join a small band of guerrilla rebels armed with high-tech weapons and battlesuits. Calling themselves the Titans, they square off against the Olympians and their ferocious mythological monsters in a war of attrition which some will not survive.
