Carrie Vaughn's Discord's Apple
Evie Walker--the writer of a successful military-themed comic book series--returns to small-town Colorado to be with her dying father. Only America is on the verge of World War Three, and she soon discovers her father is keeper of a storeroom full of the treasures of stories (the golden fleece, the titular apple, etc). As Evie figures out how to proceed in the world where magic and political chaos are colliding, her story is interwoven with the story of the fall of Troy and its aftermath. I enjoyed this quite a bit, but the ending is abrupt enough to make it seem like there'll be a sequel, and I'm pretty sure this is a stand-alone book. So it was a little unsatisfying in that regard. B+.
