Description: An epic novel from the master of historical fiction author of Alexander: GOD OF WAR Brilliantly evoked Sunday Times Arimnestos of Plataea is a man who has seen and done things that most men only dream about. Sold into slavery as a boy he fought his way to freedom - and then to everlasting fame: standing alongside the Athenians at the Battle of Marathon where the Greeks crushed the invading Persians. Sometimes however a man's greatest triumph is followed by his greatest sorrow. Returning to his farm Arimnestos finds that his wife Euphoria has died in childbirth and in an instant his laurels turn to dust. But the gods are not finished with Arimnestos yet. With nothing left to live for he throws himself from a cliff into the sea only to be pulled by strong arms from death's embrace. When he awakes he finds himself chained to an oar in a Phoenician trireme. And so begins an epic journey that will take Arimnestos and a motley crew of fellow galley slaves to the limits of their courage and beyond the edge of the known world in a quest for freedom revenge - and a cargo so precious it's worth dying for.
