Summary

One final clash

Reeling from his defeat at the hands of the Macedonians, Rome's furious General Flamininus gathers his legions for the final strike on King Philip's mighty phalanx.

An empire on the edge

Both leaders know the victor will rule Greece, and both armies will do everything in their power to claim the ultimate prize.

Two heroes prepared to die

Fighting on opposing sides, Felix and Demetrios think they have survived the worst of the campaign. But between vicious infighting, unruly locals, and intense battle, both will be tested as the final showdown between two great civilisations begins...

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

fantastic story and historical authenticity

Steven Pacey's performance is unparalleled in the many Audio books I've listened to. His accents and storytelling skill brought this already brilliant piece of historical fiction to life.

Gripping, from start to finish.

a great story which brings ancient history to life due to the balance of real historical characters and sub plots of ordinary soldiers. Great narration too, this helped bring the story to life.

Another Ben Kane hit

Really heats up in this second part, the kind of characters and battles expected from Mr Kane! Also, a little cameo appearance makes this a must for any Ben Kane fan !

Outstanding Performance by Pacey

Pacey’s character creation and delivery makes a good read great.
I look forward to the sequel, even without the charismatic Demetrius.

Great story, great characters.

Ben Kane writes books that are compelling, informative and entertaining. The characters he creates transport you back in time to witness the historic events unfolding. Ben's attention to the details of life at the time makes reading his books an immersive experience. The Falling Sword is another great Ben Kane book that I cannot recommend highly enough.
