TWO LEGENDARY BATTLES. ONE FEARLESS WARRIOR . . .
________

Themistocles stands as the battle-scarred leader of Athens. Yet he is no nobleman. The elite distrust him.

But those conspiring against him cannot argue with his victories on the battlefield. Or the vast Persian army that is coming . . .

And so Themistocles must fight.

Fight the invaders.
Fight the allies who despise him.
Fight to save his city.

As the Persians draw close, he must prove himself again and again in battle.

TO LIVE OR DIE FOR ATHENS.

About the Author
CONN IGGULDEN is one of the most successful authors of historical fiction writing today, with bestselling series on Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan and the Wars of the Roses, as well as two stand-alone novels: Dunstan, set in the red-blooded world of tenth-century England, and The Falcon of Sparta, in which Iggulden returns to the Ancient World. Both instalments of his Athenian series, The Gates of Athens and Protector, and his recent Golden Age series, Lion and Empire, are Sunday Times bestsellers.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
