Story4.5 out of 5 stars 6
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.

Story5 out of 5 stars 8
Arimnestos of Plataea grew up wanting to be a bronzesmith, like his father. Then, in the chaos of war, he was taken to a city in the Persian empire and sold as a slave. To win his freedom he had to show that he could fight and kill. Now, to preserve that freedom, he must kill again. For the Persians are coming. A vast army sent by King Darius to put down the rebellious Greeks and burn the city of Athens to the ground. Standing against them on the plain of Marathon is a much smaller force of Athenians, alongside their Plataean allies. To defeat such overwhelming force seems impossible.

Publisher's Summary
Arimnestos of Plataea was one of the heroes of the Battle of Marathon, in which the heroic Greeks halted the invading Persians in their tracks, and fought in the equally celebrated naval battle at Salamis.
But even these stunning victories only served to buy the Greeks time, as the Persians gathered a new army, returning with overwhelming force to strike the final killing blow.
For the Greeks, divided and outnumbered, there was only one possible strategy: attack. And so, in the blazing summer of 479 BC, Arimnestos took up his spear one final time at the Battle of Plataea.

The Long War Series-A Masterpiece
It takes a lot to make a great audiobook, much less a series of great ones. You have to have an excellent author and a talented narrator. It’s infrequent that I come upon any audiobook that the two work so well together. Peter Noble is handily one of the best narrators I have ever listened to, and the long war series written by Cameron was a beautiful portrait of Ancient Greece. I immensely enjoyed this series, and if you are a lover of history and adventure, this is a must read.

I hope that Christian Cameron continues this storyline because I'm emotionally invested in Arimnestos and his friends. Amazing book, incredible narration, and one of my favorite series I've ever read.

A great series highly recommended!
Christian Cameron is a terrific writer it’s hard to keep battle descriptions fresh there is just no way to not repeat when it’s spears and shields. But Cameron gets inside his characters and brings them into our world. These well written works are enhanced by the voice of Peter Noble one of my most loved readers he is really a talented actor. I have enjoyed them all and look forward more.
