The Falcon of Sparta
The Falcon of Sparta | Conn Iggulden
4 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
In the Ancient World, one army was feared above all others. This is their story. When Cyrus, brother to the Great King of Persia, attempts to overthrow his reckless sibling, he employs a Greek mercenary army of 10,000 soldiers. When this army becomes stranded as a result of the unexpected death of Cyrus, and then witnesses the treacherous murder of its entire officer corps, despair overtakes them. One man, Xenophon, rallies the Greeks. As he attempts to lead them to freedom across 1,500 miles of hostile territory seething with adversaries, 10,000 men set off on the long way home.

What an astounding retelling of Xenophon's The Persian Expedition!

✔ Mellifluous storytelling

CoverToCoverGirl ❤️ He‘s a brilliant author! 6y
DGRachel @CoverToCoverGirl I‘ve enjoyed everything of his I‘ve read so far, so he‘s pretty much an auto-buy author for me. The book hasn‘t been released in the US, yet, but I ordered it through a 3rd party seller on Amazon. I‘m just not sure why I decided I had to order it when I did instead of waiting for the US release. I truly have a book buying problem. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 6y
