About this listen
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. And yet to yield would mean the destruction of everything the Greeks have dreamed of.
In the dust and heat of Marathon, in the clash of shields and the rush of spears, amid the thunder of hooves and the screams of the dying, those dreams will undergo their fiercest test - and Arimnestos and his Greek comrades will discover the true price of freedom.©2019 Christian Cameron (P)2019 Orion Publishing Group

Great Story Great Reading
Thoroughly enjoyed this humanizing of a great period of ancient history. The bringing to life of the great characters of the Persian Wars, the detail of events and the description of the beliefs and customs of the period all made for an intriguing and entertaining story superbly read and performed.
Highly recommended.

Matches the monumental battle!
I would say any author who takes on such a well known story as found here - the battle of Marathon - is very game. That said, Christian Cameron has done just that and proven up to the task. Supremely complex (..there must be 50+ characters mentioned psudo regularly) and supremely intense. A real gem! 10/10 narration too. Loved it!
