I borrowed this ebook from a friend and once I started I couldn't stop. The more I read I didn't want it to end.So anyway the story is based on the life of Eclectus a Spartan soldier. This story is weaved quite well and is narrated by a slave who tells as if he lived the life of Eclectus himself.For the most part the story is a story we have heard before, it is a tale of oppression of a people from a more dominant group. In this case that is the Greeks and the more dominate group are the Romans.Now our story pits these Greeks led by Eclectus versus the most powerful army in the world, nothing can turn out good from this. The road that Eclectus is sent down is full of action and adventure that many would want to follow in real life.The author has put together a tale that has many surprises and twists to keep you thinking what is the next thing to come? The characters are what really make this book stand out. They are written vividly so you feel as if you know them and can almost guess there next move, but then the author throws you a curve ball.This was a thoroughly enjoyable read and is recommended to anyone seeking a great story and adventure.
