Gates of Fire puts you at the side of valiant Spartan warriors in 480 BC for the bloody, climactic battle at Thermopylae. There, a few hundred of Sparta’s finest sacrificed their lives to hold back the invading Persian millions. The time they bought enabled the Greeks to rally - saving, according to ancient historian Herodotus, “Western democracy and freedom from perishing in the cradle.” How did the Spartans accomplish this superhuman feat? This is what the King of Persia hopes to learn from the sole Spartan survivor.

Epic and emotional
Revisado: 10-18-16
An epic story of the lives of the famed Spartan warriors, culminating in the stand at Thermopylae. Very philosophical and emotional. The battle scenes are gory and graphic, but the most visceral and real you will ever find.

great reading
Revisado: 10-03-16
one of my favorite books about a nostalgia trip to Vietnam. this book is about an old veteran coming to terms with his war after 30 years. I really enjoyed the reading by Scott Brick, really nailed the main character and had just enough inflection in his voice to differentiate between characters.

Steven Pressfield is the internationally best-selling author of Gates of Fire and Tides of War. An epic of love and war, Last of the Amazons is a gripping, imaginative novel of the ancient world filled with Pressfield’s trademark extraordinary attention to detail. In the time before Homer, the legendary Theseus, king of Athens, journeys to the nation of proud female warriors whom the Greeks called Amazons.

The greatest storyteller of our generation
Revisado: 09-16-16
Pressfield's command of the English language is exquisite, his prose moves me to tears. I have read this book at least 100 times and never tire of the timeless struggle between man and woman, barbarism and civilization, friendship and love. The performance is excellent, with different actors speaking for different characters, it helps when the story moves thru time and from different perspectives.
