About the book: 
Two and a half thousand years ago, the Greeks and the Persians fought an epic battle to decide the future of our world. This is their story.
 
490 B.C. Two great empires are about to go to war . . .
 
The momentous struggle between Athens and Sparta as rival powers and political systems will last for twenty-seven years (431 to 404 BC). It will end in the fall of a dynasty.
 
Filled with cunning political scheming, astonishing military prowess, invasions, treacheries, plagues, ambitions, virtues, and emotions and a lot of intrigue, Conn Iggulden brings to life one of the most thrilling chapters of the ancient world.
