Well though out and descriptive series of novels. I love them! E Fleek I am finishing the fifth book of the series and truly enjoy the description of the naval battles, as well as the building of the boats. I really like that the author also captured the superstitions of the time and wove them through the story.. JPS said Neither the worst, nor the best (three and a half stars). I generally very much enjoy Christian Cameron's historical novels. I have read just about all of them up to now, and will continue to do so. I was, however, a bit disappointed with this one. I didn't work very well for me, unlike almost all of his previous books. Although it is arguably better in my view than King of the Bosphoros (which I rated three stars, at the time), it does have a number of problems and it is not as good, in my view, as God of War .

And between them, the island of Rhodes, a strategic fortress city that neither could afford to cede to the enemy.But trapped in the city was one man with the courage and determination to save it from destruction. This novel in the scintillating Tyrant series brings the epic siege of Rhodes in 306 BC to spectacular life.The death of Alexander the Great was the signal to begin the greatest war in human history - a war that swept like a firestorm from one end of the known world to the other, as his former generals fought like jackals to make his vast empire their own.By 305 BC, the most powerful players in this deadly game faced each other across the Mediterranean: Ptolemy, the master of Egypt, and Antigonus One-Eye, master of Asia
