Trade ReviewBreathtakingly brilliant . . . there have been many books about Sparta and its warrior code, but none have captured so magnificently the hearts, minds and spirits of the warriors who fought at Thermopylae. This is a work of rare genius. Savour it! -- DAVID GEMMELL
Incredibly gripping, moving and literate . . . rarely does an author manage to recreate a moment in history with such mastery, authority and psychological insight -- NELSON DeMILLE
Brings the battle of Thermopylae to brilliant life . . . when you finish Pressfield's work, you will feel you have fought side by side with the Spartans. This novel is Homeric -- PAT CONROY
A tale worthy of Homer, a timeless epic of man and war, exquisitely researched and boldly written. Pressfield has created a new classic -- STEPHEN COONTS
