PRE-ORDER THE LATEST ANCIENT EPIC FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF EMPEROR AND WAR OF THE ROSESOn the plains of Marathon an army gathers . . .490 BC. King Darius of Persia has brought about a golden age, a world of prosperity and peace. He would make the Greeks part of that greater nation, if they would just lay down their spears and shields - and call him king. The people of Athens have known tyrants before. Instead of kings, they have the Assembly, where each man can vote and be heard. Though a vast empire shakes the earth, they will not give up what they have won.Filled with political scheming, invasions, treacheries, ambition and honour, The Gates of Athens is the story of those who chose to resist tyranny - and by doing so, changed the course of history.PRAISE FOR CONN IGGULDEN'The pace is nail-biting and the set-dressing magnificent' Times'Pacy . . . and packed with action' Sunday Times'One of our finest historical novelists' Daily Express'Iggulden is in a class of his own when it comes to epic, historical fiction' Daily Mirror von Iggulden, Conn
