orPRE-ORDER THE LATEST ANCIENT EPIC FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF EMPEROR AND WAR OF THE ROSES
490 B.C.
Two great empires are about to go to war . . .
The momentous struggle between Athens and Sparta as rival powers and political systems will last for twenty-seven years (431 to 404 BC).
It will end in the fall of a dynasty.
Filled with cunning political scheming and astonishing military prowess, invasions and treacheries, plagues and slaughters, passion and power, Conn Iggulden brings to life one of the most thrilling chapters of the ancient world.
PRAISE FOR CONN IGGULDEN
'The pace is nail-biting and the set-dressing magnificent' Times
'Pacy . . . and packed with action' Sunday Times
'One of our finest historical novelists' Daily Express
'Iggulden is in a class of his own when it comes to epic, historical fiction' Daily Mirror
I've only read one Iggulden book (The Falcon of Sparta) and that was last year in September but if all of his books are as good as that one was then I want to read all of them. So I'm really looking forward to his upcoming new novel. There are so little historical fiction authors that I know of that actually write books set in the ancient world so I'm taking any book I can get!
This sounds EPIC! I gopew you enjoy it when you read it!
