Fantastic Narration

The narrator makes this already epic story all the more epic. I found myself constantly listening to very chance I got. This is a fantastic story of adventure that is based somewhat in historical precedent.

Outstanding

The story continues to get better and better. Excellent work by the author! The author and the narrator are the best.

A Disappointing Sequel That Feels Anachronistic

The first book was amazing. It brought a real sense of the ancient Mediterranean and the motivations a person of that age would have. At times I felt like it was adapted straight from an ancient scroll, long buried but recently translated.

Unfortunately, this second book feels like it was cobbled together by a modern American/Canadian author, as it was. Contemporary views on race, feminism, and religion pop up throughout the novel. If you want to read a 21st century person's views on these topics, fair enough. But if you're looking for a gripping semi-historical account of the Ancient World that makes you feel like you're listening to an ancestor, look elsewhere. Gene Wolfe's "Latro" trilogy does a much better job of returning you to the past.

Thoroughly captivating

I listen to audiobooks when I work out in the gym. Christian Cameron‘s writing keeps me engaged and I always work harder and I’m completely engrossed in his amazing storytelling.

top tier history fiction

some of the best historical fiction around im going to buy the whole series. Great characters with a solid mix of day to day life and epic sagas.

another winner

Loved this. And bought third book. I had small-ish issue in first book w narrator losing volume at times, but narration here was perfect. Great stuff, easily as good as Cornwell & Ben Kane.

I love this series

Typically I listen to epic fantasy series. But here with the touch of history it brings the storylines to life, as my mind weaves in what I remember from history class. My suggestion a solid read and I strongly suggest the series.

Arimnestos continues his epic tale...

Again a must for any fans of Bernard Cornwell or Steven Pressfield. In this book, Arimnestos parallels the end of the Ionian revolt, the fall of Miletus, and ultimately the battle of Marathon(obviously). The narration and story are excellent, some of the historical facts are a bit off as is often the case with these sort of books, but he's all in all fairly true to the ancient Greek world and does a good job of capturing what could have been the ancient Hellenic mindset. I thoroughly enjoy his works.
