About this listen

In the epic clash of Greece and Persia, a hero is forged - a monumental novel from the author of the Tyrant series.

Arimnestos is a farm boy when war breaks out between the citizens of his native Plataea and their overbearing neighbours, Thebes. Standing in the battle line for the first time, alongside his father and brother, he shares in a famous and unlikely victory. But after being knocked unconscious in the melee, he awakes not a hero but a slave.

Betrayed by his jealous and cowardly cousin, the freedom he fought for has now vanished, and he becomes the property of a rich citizen. So begins an epic journey out of slavery that takes the young Arimnestos through a world poised on the brink of an epic confrontation, as the emerging civilisation of the Greeks starts to flex its muscles against the established empire of the Persians.

As he tries to make his fortune and revenge himself on the man who disinherited him, Arimnestos discovers that he has a talent that pays well in this new, violent world - for like his hero, Achilles, he is 'a killer of men'.

They should make a movie production out of this. If it’s half as good as the books it’ll take off!

Best series I’ve read/listened to.

I only started listening to Christian Cameron because Ben Kane said he wanted to write like him. Ben Kane in a interview looked up to Christian Cameron, said he was good. I listened to the first hour of the novel, nothing ever happens. It long winded and boring. The first couple chapters of a novel should grab you, hook you in. Cameron Cameron style of writing is boring, long winded. Not for me . I listen to two other novels he wrote. Nothing ever happens.
