About this listen
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Falcon of Sparta by Conn Iggulden.
In the Ancient World, one army was feared above all others. This is their story.
When Cyrus, brother to the Great King of Persia, attempts to overthrow his reckless sibling, he employs a Greek mercenary army of 10,000 soldiers. When this army becomes stranded as a result of the unexpected death of Cyrus and then witnesses the treacherous murder of its entire officer corps, despair overtakes them.
One man, Xenophon, rallies the Greeks. As he attempts to lead them to freedom across 1,500 miles of hostile territory seething with adversaries, 10,000 men set off on the long way home.

Good read, not his most exciting book
I've become a huge fan of the author over the last few years. I've read most of his books and put the Mongol series at the top without question.
This one is less exciting with a slow steady pace, but still very well written and well narrated.

Epic Adventure Awaits
A great story about one of the most epic adventures in history. The narrator brings the characters to life, all of whom are well written. If you are a fan of ancient history, you will greatly enjoy this book.

Enjoyed the book but...
I liked this book. The story was good, as was the narration, but 2/3 of the story is given away in the description you read before purchasing. Seems silly.

halfway through and love it
I love this author. this was the first audio book I've heard too so I was a bit weary, hoping it wouldn't wreck a good thing. however, the narrator is great at what he does and is the perfect fit for reading this aloud.
