The stunning sequel to Christian Cameron's epic TYRANT.

Ruler. Puppet Master. Killer. Glory. Death. Well-born Athenian cavalry officer, Kineas, fought shoulder to shoulder with Alexander in his epic battles against the Persian hordes. But on his return from the east to his native city, he finds not glory but shame - and exile. With nothing to his name but his military skills, Kineas agrees to lead a band of veterans to the city of Olbia, where the Tyrant is offering good money to train the city's elite cavalry. But soon Kineas and his men find they have stumbled into a deadly maze of intrigue and conspiracy as the Tyrant plots to use them as pawns in the increasingly complex power games between his own citizens, and the dread military might of Macedon. Caught between his duty to the Tyrant, his loyalty to his men and a forbidden love affair with a charismatic Scythian noblewoman, Kineas must call on all his Athenian guile, his flair on the battlefield, and even - he is convinced - the intervention of the gods, to survive.

Thriller o nebezpečné vojenské misi na záchranu agenta CIA, uneseného v srdci černého kontinentu. Hrdina příběhu, zpravodajský důstojník a letec Kent, je rád, že může opustit teplé, ale nudné místečko v Pentagonu a připomenout si své hrdinské kousky při nebezpečné výpravě za záchranou nejlepšího přítele. Fabulační schopnost a práce s charakteristikami osob jsou na úrovni Rodokapsů. Snad pro odlišení od této kategorie literatury autorská dvojice nešetří peprnými výrazy, samoúčelně poházenými v textu, kterého je v knize asi dvakrát více, než by vzhledem k napínavosti příběhu bylo únosné. K rozpačitému dojmu z knihy přispěl i překladatel, který občas překvapí pozoruhodnými slovními vazbami.

Europe is on the brink of war on all fronts, and William Gold must choose who he will ultimately stand beside...

Two and a half thousand years ago, the Greeks and the Persians fought an epic battle to decide the future of the world... Arimnestos of Plataea grew up wanting to be a bronzesmith, like his father. Then, in the chaos of war, he was taken to a city in the Persian empire and sold as a slave. To win his freedom he had to show that he could fight and kill. Now, to preserve that freedom, he must kill again. For the Persians are coming. A vast army sent by King Darius to put down the rebellious Greeks and burn the city of Athens to the ground. Standing against them on the plain of Marathon is a much smaller force of Athenians, alongside their Plataean allies. To defeat such overwhelming force seems impossible. And yet to yield would mean the destruction of everything the Greeks have dreamed of. In the dust and heat of Marathon, in the clash of shields and the rush of spears, amid the thunder of hooves and the screams of the dying, those dreams will undergo their fiercest test - and Arimnestos and his Greek comrades will discover the true price of freedom.
