In the epic clash of Greece and Persia, a hero is forged - a monumental novel from the author of the Tyrant series. Arimnestos is a farm boy when war breaks out between the citizens of his native Plataea and their overbearing neighbours, Thebes. Standing in the battle line for the first time, alongside his father and brother, he shares in a famous and unlikely victory. But after being knocked unconscious in the melee, he awakes not a hero, but a slave. Betrayed by his jealous and cowardly cousin, the freedom he fought for has now vanished, and he becomes the property of a rich citizen. So begins an epic journey out of slavery that takes the young Arimnestos through a world poised on the brink of an epic confrontation, as the emerging civilization of the Greeks starts to flex its muscles against the established empire of the Persians. As he tries to make his fortune and revenge himself on the man who disinherited him, Arimnestos discovers that he has a talent that pays well in this new, violent world - for like his hero, Achilles, he is 'a killer of men'.

"Killer of Men" is the first book in a series by Christian Cameron, about the first of the Greco-Persian Wars. The series principal character is Arimnestos of Platea, and "Killer of Men," "Marathon," and "Poseidon's Spear" serve as his fictional biography, and complete the series, thus far. The author plans at least one more volume, in which the battles that followed the Spartan defense of Thermopylae will play a part. This is absolutely the best treatment of ancient Greek life and times, social mores and religion, politics and war, that I have ever read, since first picking up Mary Renault's works as a boy. And, these are cracking good adventure novels as well, with combat scenes that rival the Iliad. Exceptional.

Great Series
This is the second series of books I have read (first was the Tyrant series) by this author.(Christian Cameron) It is amazing how realistic the plot's are in each book and exciting wondering what the characters involved will face next . If you like historical novels you will love anything written by this author. Just started reading second in this series Marathon.
