review 1: Wow! I'm a Greek history buff and a fan of action novels. I got a heaping helping of both in this tremendously well written, well researched and well executed work. It truly is a Noble piece of art. I loved the characters - so many that I've already started re-reading it to get them all straight - and their heroic actions and attitudes. Smith even handles his villains with grace and understanding. Like great authors before him, Smith leaves us annoyed at the end that so many important things are unresolved, the perfect come-on to drag the reader to the next book in the series. Well done.
review 2: I won a copy of this book through Goodreads' First Read program.Set in the forgotten town of Plataea, the story sheds light on a historically rich setting. The novel ... moretakes places when a nearby battle between Xerxes' Persians and an alliance between Athens and Sparta is still fresh in the minds of most citizens. Though more pertinent to the characters is the blossoming war between Sparta and Athens, which would become known as the Peloponnesian War, which places their town in the middle of the action at the outset of the war. The action is fast-paced and there are enough plot twists to keep the story interesting and moving along. The dialogue is sometimes very thick and plodding, but the story takes place 2500 years ago, their dialogue shouldn't sound contemporary.I gave it 4 stars. It's a fun story during an interesting era that does a great job of telling it's story while simultaneously setting up the next major plot point in the series. less
