Newest Book

I started a new book, called the Gates of Fire, by Steven Pressfield. This book is about the battle of Thermopylae, a battle in which the Persians, led by Xerxes fight against the last greek army, the Spartans. This book tells the story of the Spartans, traveling through Greece to the pass of Thermopolyae in which only a few Persian Immortals(specialized soldiers) can pass at a time. This is the same story told in the movie, 300, but in a different perspective. The story starts out from the perspective of a Persian translator, who is talking about a Spartan soldier who has survived the Persian onslaught, and wants to tell the story of the Spartans to the rest of the world. He is led forward to speak to His Majesty, Xerxes, but is instructed to speak to the officers, and not directly to the King.
