Reviews

" Thrilling, eloquent." --James Brady "An epic story that will capture the imagination of anyone interested in the history of Greece. A worthy successor to Steven Pressfield's Gates of Fire." --Library Journal (starred review) "While Ten Thousand has swift pace, a solid story, and realistic characters, it is the fact that the book drops you into the reality of the times, dirt, grit, blood, passion an all, that gives it its strength...It is a book that makes the reader feel the story has been lived, not merely read." --The Stateman Journal (Salem, OR)
