“A Gift from the Gods. I have read many behind-the-scenes books on major and smaller films. This Ridley Scott epic is justly presented in what can only be described as an epic book. It is shaped like and weighs the same as a slice of Roman marble from the Coliseum. Author John Walsh has once again delved deep into the story here to provide both a casual reader and an industry insider with the right level of text and visuals.”
