Story
Arimnestos of Plataea was one of the heroes of the Battle of Marathon, in which the heroic Greeks halted the invading Persians in their tracks, and fought in the equally celebrated naval battle at Salamis. But even these stunning victories only served to buy the Greeks time, as the Persians gathered a new army, returning with overwhelming force to strike the final killing blow. For the Greeks, divided and outnumbered, there was only one possible strategy: attack. And so, in the blazing summer of 479 BC, Arimnestos took up his spear one final time at the Battle of Plataea.

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.

Meet the greatest Greek general you've never heard of: Philopoemen. In his day, a leader as skilled and as dangerous as Hannibal: a ferocious fighter, a superb general, and credited as the inventor of modern 'special operations'. More importantly, he was a brilliant political leader. He commanded Greek forces at the turn of the third century BC, when mighty Rome, fresh from the destruction of Carthage, and Imperial Macedon, the greatest power of the day, chose Greece as their battlefield.

It is the last roll of the dice for the Achean League.

Excellent but would have liked better continuity in narration
I enjoyed this installment just as much as the first two in the series. This one had a different narrator and if the same narrator could not have been used for the whole series, I wish more attention had been paid to using the same pronunciations of the names of the main characters as in the first two books. It was a bit jarring to have names such as Pierre, Juan, and Emilie suddenly pronounced as “Peer”, “Jew-on” and “Eh-meel”.

Marvelous!
Cameron brings history into intimate contact with the listener. His scholarship backs his story with a deep wellspring of real knowledge to which, he in turn, applies his true gift of magic - the transportation of you and me into his world to see the landscapes, to feel the passions, hatreds, and friendships, smell the exotic aromas of foreign lands and taste the dusty grit of battle mingled with blood. It come to seem as if we were one of his companions! So real are these manifestations of novel that Cameron's world becomes the preferable one to reality making on wish we never had to go home!

This series just gets better
This is the third in its series. Each book has shown better development and detail. The story and the attention paid to the authors research, makes the series. His characters are gaining depth and complexity, rather than the flat, cut out personalities you find in other period books. Nor will you find yourself knowing what is going to happen.
The reader is fantastic, I swear the man was crying when he discussed the death of the hero's horse.
Outstanding work Mr. Cameron

Excellent written read and researched series
I must say I share the author's love of history and this period in particular. The book continues to bring the period to life with great attention detail and historic flavour. Not 5 starts because I occasionally find moments when I get annoyed with the style or narration but that may well be that it is so well written and performed at it is William's idiosyncrasies that grate on mine. Looking foward to the next book. The story and characters are brilliant combination of history and fiction.

Amazing book but very quiet narration.
I struggled to put this one down, every spare moment I had was listening to this great work. Don't start the series here, but if you have listened to the proceeding books this one is also top notch. Less hard in our poor William, but enthralling and poignant.
The new narrorator is good, and seemed to get considerable better as the book went on, but the volume was very quiet for me where the proceeding books were not.
