Alexanor is a man who has seen too much blood. He has left the sword behind him to become a healer in the greatest sanctuary in Greece, turning his back on war.
But war has followed him to his refuge at Epidauros and now a battle to end the freedom of Greece is all around him. The Mediterranean superpowers of Rome, Egypt and Macedon are waging their proxy wars on Hellenic soil, turning Greek farmers into slaves and mercenaries.
When wounded soldier Philopoemen is carried into his temple, Alexanor believes the man's wounds are mortal but that he is not destined to die. Because he knows Philopoemen will become Greece's champion. Its last hero. The new Achilles.

That said, and average book by this author is still better than 90% of the historical fiction I’ve read. I highly recommend everything he’s written.
Worth the listen

The narrator was great too. There were parts where he sounded like he was caught up in the narrative and was enjoying the moment as much as I was.
Terrific Historical Fiction

Adventure, Medicine and Philosophy in Greece

in the end, it would be a great book without its 20-25% of horrible and poorly written content somewhere in the half (after Macedonia and just before Crete, to speak in geographical description of the plot).
still it is one if the top examples of historical action fiction, very close to Steven Pressfield works and Cameron's own best works.
worse than Tyrant and Killer of Men but still good

The narrator was quite good -- but for the reader I would not have been able to trudge all the way to the end.
Did not live up to its potential

Beautiful women enters the story, has sex, has sex with another man/women because the first man doesn't "own her". First man apologizes for being wrong. Woman uses the spy network she has (all women have spy networks don't you know?). Talks about how rich she is from the businesses she built herself. Beats up some man that tried to touch her breast. Exits after a few pages. Can I just have a 3min Kamala Harris add and we can get back to the story????
The author netflixs himself endlessly.
