Summary
Ruler. Puppet Master. Killer.
Glory. Death. Well-born Athenian cavalry officer Kineas fought shoulder to shoulder with Alexander in his epic battles against the Persian hordes. But on his return from the east to his native city, he finds not glory but shame - and exile.
With nothing to his name but his military skills, Kineas agrees to lead a band of veterans to the city of Olbia, where the Tyrant is offering good money to train the city's elite cavalry. But soon Kineas and his men find they have stumbled into a deadly maze of intrigue and conspiracy as the Tyrant plots to use them as pawns in the increasingly complex power games between his own citizens and the dread military might of Macedon.
Caught between his duty to the Tyrant, his loyalty to his men and a forbidden love affair with a charismatic Scythian noblewoman, Kineas must call on all his Athenian guile, his flair on the battlefield and even - he is convinced - the intervention of the gods to survive.

A good listen but not will not read the next one
Tyrant is not as strong a story as Killer of men and not as epic as Alexander. A good book but it did not grip me enough to continue the series any further

Great listen
Took me a while to get into the book, but I think that was because of the book I’d just finished.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, will definitely read the second book in the series.

another strike
once again, impeccably written by Christian and read by Peter. Peter was a completely different speaker this time round showing an incredible range. the only thing I could take away from it is my own fault, Greek names being similar I occasionally mixed up the names kineas and nikeas since it's just the swap of the n & k, but like I said, my own stupidity 🤣 highly recommend

Another great epic
I loved the story it has enough historical input to be credible.
The narration by Peter Noble is as always incredible.

A brilliant series.
The whole series of Christian Cameron ancient Greece books are excellent. I wish I had time to follow all his research.

Not bad; not bad at all.
This is the first CC book I've listened too and it was pretty good. Perhaps a little slow at times but maybe that was just me. The narrator was also very good, performing a number of authentic sounding voices which is not an easy thing to keep track of so hats of to him for that.
BUT, his pronunciation of Antipater as Aunty Patter was the only, but seriously annoying blot on the performance. He managed to pronounce Antigonas correctly, and not as Aunty Gonas, so why he should have got the former wrong, is anybodies guess.
It's one of those childhood mispronunciations that you pronounce slowly for the first time as you see it; fortunately the only blemish. Of course I could be wrong; perhaps that is how they pronounced it way back then and he has after all done his research. 🤔 Who knows? Mick the Hick.😊
