About this listen

Ruler. Puppet Master. Killer.

Glory. Death. Well-born Athenian cavalry officer Kineas fought shoulder to shoulder with Alexander in his epic battles against the Persian hordes. But on his return from the east to his native city, he finds not glory but shame - and exile.

With nothing to his name but his military skills, Kineas agrees to lead a band of veterans to the city of Olbia, where the Tyrant is offering good money to train the city's elite cavalry. But soon Kineas and his men find they have stumbled into a deadly maze of intrigue and conspiracy as the Tyrant plots to use them as pawns in the increasingly complex power games between his own citizens and the dread military might of Macedon.

Caught between his duty to the Tyrant, his loyalty to his men and a forbidden love affair with a charismatic Scythian noblewoman, Kineas must call on all his Athenian guile, his flair on the battlefield and even - he is convinced - the intervention of the gods to survive.

Long winded and boring

I listened to this Christian Cameron novel , because Ben Kane said in an interview , he wished he could write as good as Christian Cameron. He is long winded and uses too many words to say too little. Nothing ever happens. I call his writing style as simply boring. If any one wants to know who I consider a good author in historical fiction, that’s easy Bernard Cornwell. And yes Ben Kane. I’m going to try Cameron’s other books , I’ll try Alexander , it’s 41 hours. Bet it’s boring, but I’ll try , and really truly give the book a chance. If I listen to 2-3 hours and I’m not hooked . Why read more ?
