Sometimes, however, a man's greatest triumph is followed by his greatest sorrow. Returning to his farm, Arimnestos finds that his wife Euphoria has died in childbirth, and in an instant his laurels turn to dust. But the gods are not finished with Arimnestos yet. With nothing left to live for, he throws himself from a cliff into the sea, only to be pulled by strong arms from death's embrace. When he awakes he finds himself chained to an oar in a Phoenician trireme. And so begins an epic journey that will take Arimnestos and a motley crew of fellow galley slaves to the limits of their courage and beyond the edge of the known world, in a quest for freedom, revenge - and a cargo so precious it is worth dying for."--Publisher's description.

From back cover - "Arimnestos is a peasant boy who dreams of becoming a bronzesmith like his father, but their peaceful life is shattered by Thebes and Sparta. Standing in the battle line for the first time, he tastes blood and unlikely victory. But wounded and knocked unconscious, he wakes not a hero - but a victim, betrayed and enslaved. Slavery forces him into the high culture of the Greek and Persian worlds, but the seductive spell of this new life is shattered when the Greeks revolt against the might of the Persian Empire, forcing him to choose between new love and old friends, thrusting him back into the battle haze. Arimnestos has a god-like talent that pays well in this violent world - one that will ultimately take him to the battlefield of Marathon and beyond. Like his hero, Achilles, he is a killer of men."

Špionážní thriller z prostředí amerického námořního letectva a tajných služeb. Hlavní hrdina kapitán námořní rozvědky Alan Craik, sloužící se svým otcem na letadlové lodi, se účastní bojového zásahu na íranském pobřeží v době války v Zálivu. Jeho otec je za záhadných okolností sestřelen. Mladý muž se nespokojí s oficiální verzí otcovy smrti a začne pátrat sám. Zjišťuje překvapivá fakta o zradě v nejvyšších armádních kruzích, o kontaktech na zahraniční tajné služby vedoucí až k ruské KGB. Je rozehrána vysoká hra, ve které nad vojenskou ctí stojí ješitnost, osobní zájmy a touha po penězích.

Thriller o nebezpečné vojenské misi na záchranu agenta CIA, uneseného v srdci černého kontinentu. Hrdina příběhu, zpravodajský důstojník a letec Kent, je rád, že může opustit teplé, ale nudné místečko v Pentagonu a připomenout si své hrdinské kousky při nebezpečné výpravě za záchranou nejlepšího přítele. Fabulační schopnost a práce s charakteristikami osob jsou na úrovni Rodokapsů. Snad pro odlišení od této kategorie literatury autorská dvojice nešetří peprnými výrazy, samoúčelně poházenými v textu, kterého je v knize asi dvakrát více, než by vzhledem k napínavosti příběhu bylo únosné. K rozpačitému dojmu z knihy přispěl i překladatel, který občas překvapí pozoruhodnými slovními vazbami.
