Now, in the tradition of the best historical fiction, he shares a heroic tale of warriors united by blood and torn apart by law.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>According to Herodotus, not all of the three hundred Spartan warriors perished during the Battle of Thermopylae: Two were spared. <i>Spartan</i> is their story.</b> <p/> This is the epic tale of a noble Spartan family shattered by the law of the land, which forces them to abandon one of their two sons -- Talos, who was born crippled -- to the elements. Brithos, the strong and healthy son, is raised in the caste of the warriors, while Talos is saved by a Helot shepherd and raised among peasants. They live out their story in a world dominated by the brutal, relentless clash between the Persian empire and the city-states of Greece -- until the voice of their blood and of human solidarity unites them in a thrilling, singular enterprise. <p/> Full of passion, courage and magic, <i>Spartan</i> is an enthralling novel of the ancient world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An intelligent, knowledgeable and entertaining story, as much an education as an entertainment. <p/> -- Bernard Cornwell, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Heretic</i><br><br>Entertaining and historically informed. <p/> -- <i>San Jose Mercury News</i><br><br>Manfredi is a masterful storyteller. <p/> -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>Plenty of action, passion, and drama underscore this authentically detailed historical adventure. <p/> -- <i>Booklist</i><br>
