Två legendariska slag. En oförskräckt krigare
Besök det antika Greklands episka slagfält tillsammans med historieberättaren framför alla - Conn Iggulden.
Themistokles spanade bakåt mot den stora rökpelare som steg över staden. Hans grepp om skölden fick knogarna att vitna, av maktlöshet såväl som av vrede. Han skymtade Akropolis i röken och muttrade en bön till krigsguden Ares. Det fanns inget tempel åt den blodiga guden där, men det kändes likafullt rätt. Genast slogs han av skuldkänslor och bad även till Athena. Hon var trots allt en gudinna som klädde sig i rustning. De var hennes folk. Han var hennes, och han skulle aldrig vara maktlös så länge hon log mot honom.
Nu står Themistokles där som den ärrade befälhavaren över Atens samlade styrkor. Detta trots att han inte är av ädelt blod; detta trots att många misstror honom. Och må så vara, men de vet också att två saker är bortom allt rimligt tvivel: Alla de segrar han vunnit som krigare. För att inte tala om den väldiga persiska armé som är på väg mot dem i detta nu.
Således måste Themistokles ta till vapen. Han måste bekämpa inkräktarna, han måste mota tillbaka fränderna som avskyr honom och han måste slåss för sin stad. Perserna kommer närmare och närmare, och i det ena slaget efter det andra måste Themistokles visa sitt värde. Ty historien hör till det tappra.

AD 60. Nero Claudius Caesar is Emperor. He is feared for his temper. He is known to be intoxicated by the power he wields. And why not? The Roman Empire stretches from the wilds of Britain to the deserts of Parthia. Nero is god of all he surveys. Yet dangerous traitors lie close at hand. Generals commanding legions. Senators whispering in corridors. The people cheer in the circus – but curse him in the streets. As word of Nero’s cruelties and corruption spreads, they spark trouble in the north – Queen Boudicca revolts – and the ever unruly Gauls rebel. Nero's empire is aflame. Rome – his city – is a tinderbox. Perhaps it is time for a cleansing fire. But no one, not even an emperor, can escape its touch...

NY EPISK KRÖNIKA FRÅN FÖRFATTAREN TILL DE BÄSTSÄLJANDE SERIERNA ERÖVRAREN, KEJSAREN OCH ROSORNAS KRIG NU OM ANTIKENS GREKLAND
En här av slavar står samlad på Marathons slättland. Den mäktiga persiska hären under ledning av kungarnas konung, Dareios den store, och hans odödliga elitsoldater har stigit iland för att underkuva grekerna. Men i deras väg står en mycket underlägsen armé av fria och fast beslutna män från Aten, och bland dem inte minst den kloke och erfarne krigaren Xanthippos, tillika statsman. I vetskapen om att ett nederlag innebär ett liv i slaveri slåss grekerna för sin existens. Men folk har en tendens att glömma det blod som friheten kostar. Tio år senare kan en maktlös Xanthippos endast se på när Aten faller till föga för inre stridigheter och politiskt rävspel. Goda män klassas som förrädare och landsförvisas. Misstron i staden når ett nytt lågvattenmärke. Det är i denna stund som perserna väljer att på nytt korsa Hellesponten, nu i ett antal som västvärlden aldrig tidigare skådat. De har kommit för att en gång för alla krossa greken. Inför en övermäktig styrka både på land och till sjöss vädjar atenarna till sina spartanska bröder om hjälp i hopp om att de åtminstone kan fördröja fienden vid Thermopyles trånga bergspass. Med sina skildringar av två av den antika världens mest berömda slag bragden vid Marathon och hjältedådet vid Thermopyle utgör Atens portar en fantastisk berättelse om ett folk som, inför utsikten om sin och sin stads tillintetgörelse, frammanar en sällan skådad beslutsamhet och tapperhet.

År 401 f.Kr. Den persiske kungen Artaxerxes regerar över ett rike som sträcker sig från Egeiska havet till norra Indien. Hans välde är oinskränkt. Spartas söner, de vars fäder och farfäder föll vid Thermopyle under det peloponnesiska kriget, skyr inga medel i kampen om tronen och livnär sig som legosoldater åt persiska prinsar. När Kyros den yngre, bror till storkungen, gör anspråk på faderns krona är det med en elitarmé av spartaner bakom sig. Men strider kan vinnas och förloras i ett enda slag. Prinsar faller. Och när dammet efter inbördeskriget lägger sig finner sig spartanerna övergivna i hjärtat av fiendens rike, utan vare sig understöd, mat eller vatten. Långt hemifrån och omringade av ovänner faller det på den unge soldaten Xenofons lott att leda de överlevande mot Artaxerxes legendariska persiska krigare.
Med avstamp i en av världshistoriens mest episka äventyrsberättelser skildrar Falken från Sparta med mästerlig säkerhet den antika världens skoningslöshet, hjältemod och blodtörst.
