Fortress of the Sun: An Epic Novel of the Battle of Corinth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578437859)

It's 243 B.C. and Greece is ready for a revolution.

Eighty years have passed since the death of Alexander the Great, the man who first cowed free Hellas into submission. His successors have only tightened their grip in the interim, the present king no exception. Spartan rebellions, opportunistic usurpers, foreign invaders - for five decades, King Antigonus has seen them all and crushed them all. He stands alone astride Greece; he fears no one.

Aratus of Sicyon plans to change that. Burning with a passion for freedom and hatred for the King, he takes aim at Macedon when no one else would dare; takes aim at its crown jewel in the south, the linchpin of its control, the symbol of its domination-Corinth.

Outfunded, outmanned, and outarmed, Aratus embarks on one of the most audacious campaigns in ancient history, one destined to change Greece forever.
