Summary

The heroic story of Arimnestos of Plataea continues - a thrilling historical adventure set amid the epic struggle between Greece and Persia - perfect for fans of the blockbusting film 300

Slave, pirate, husband and lover: Arimnestos of Plataea has been many things in the course of his life. But men remember him best as one of the heroes of the Battle of Marathon, the epic victory that prevented all of Greece from falling under the Persian yoke. 

But now there is a new Great King on the throne, determined to succeed where his father failed. As rumours abound of a vast Persian invasion, an embassy is sent to forestall the threat. 

Arimnestos is chosen to escort them - an honour he can hardly refuse. But as the storm clouds of war gather and factions on both sides begin to weave their treacherous plots, Arimnestos' journey begins to look more and more like a suicide mission.

I loved reading this whole series of books and it's even better have the story told to you.

Amazing author. Superb performance

After the somewhat sprawling and unfocused book 3, this one is right back on track with a superb story brilliantly told. It is always enthralling and often moving and inspiring. And the narrator is superb. Bringing the world to life perfectly. I didn't want it to end. Bravo.

No words...

Absolutely amazing. Christian Cameron twinned with Peter Noble drag you into the world of the Greco Persian Wars and make you feel as though Arimnestos is more a part of you than your own body. Phenomenal.
