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.

This historical novel follows an exiled Greek warrior and his loyal band of brothers as they accept a mercenary assignment from a tyrant in a distant city. The book description is spot on. Kineas is a great character because, unlike so many other "hero" types, he's unsure about his ability to lead and questions his decisions; this is a more realistic and interesting guy.

Lots of battle action and violence, plenty of foul language, no sexual content. Peter Noble does a terrific job of narrating the audiobook (although it doesn't include a glossary like the print book promises).

Solid historical novel with great narration

Christian Cameron has done this to me twice now, I bought this because I assumed it was a story about a guy in Alexander's army. I was only half right. Of course, I got a bit upset when that didn't happen, but I kept going and it ended up being exactly what I wanted and I didn't even know it. Great story.

Becoming my historical go to guy.

Not nearly as good as "Killer Of Men."
The accents became quite annoying after awhile.

Meh

I love Cornwell, Archer and Woulk! But? Cameron just develops better and uses modern day language to describe history. I’ve listened to every book from above authors mentioned but somehow? Cameron pulls me into the moment of experience.

At first, I think it’s a bit cheesy and Cameron does open his books a bit weak. However? It just always gets better! He gets stronger after chapter 2-3. It’s amazing! I’ve listened to every book he’s written on Audible; no regrets!

I can’t believe his books are so cheap on Audible! Far better then most! I almost feel guilty spending a credit on a $16.95 book.

Well worth it!

It’s a Fact! Cameron is the Best!

I started listening to Christian Cameron with his Chivalry series. This is the 3rd of his series I've broken into. He is consistently a top notch story teller. Hes stories are always believable and amazingly true to historic events. I loved this book as well, does not disappoint, If you enjoy history, or his previous books i highly recommend this one as well. Can't wait for the sequels to get on Audible.

Christain Cameron is becoming one of my favorites
