Product Description

Review

'[A] great page-turner.' (ANCIENT WARFARE )

'The minutiae of military logistics, the mediations in inter-tribe rivalries, and the casual contemporary scene-setting prove unexpectedly engrossing... a sword-slash above the rest of its ilk.' (IRISH EXAMINER )

'A sweeping, deeply moving epic that takes the reader into the heart of a different time and culture.' (HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW )

'The author has picked a forgotten part of history and brough it to life with wonderful characters and amazingly vivid battle scenes... a story that is sweeping, powerful and provides a fresh look at the past.' (HUDDERSFIELD DAILY EXAMINER )


Product Description

Kineas, the Athenian cavalry commander, has come a long way since being dismissed from the army of Alexander and vengefully exiled by his own city. Together, his mercenary force and their Scythian allies have defeated a mighty Macedonian army at the Ford of the River God, and his adopted city of Olbia is now free once more. But his destiny will not allow him to enjoy the fruits of victory for long. Far to the east, at the farthest edge of the Sea of Grass, Alexander is threatening to crush the Scythian hordes once and for all. The Lady Srayanka of the Cruel Hands, the Scythian warrior-princess who spurned a king's love to be at Kineas's side, is pledged to take her tribe east to help stop 'the monster' - and Kineas knows he has no choice but to follow, even if it means embracing the violent death in battle that he has seen prefigured in countless dreams. But long before he can confront the might of Alexander's army alongside his beloved Srayanka, he must undertake an epic journey, of breathtaking daring, taking an army through hundreds of miles of hostile terrain - towards his own appointment with fate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still not your average historical novel..., 12 April 2009
By Robert N. Sulentic (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Christian Cameron continues his story of Kineas, the Athenian cavalryman and his troop in "Storm of Arrows". As if Kineas' previous exertions were not enough, he now marches a small army from the black sea to the Caspian sea, sails across that, and marches further to the Oxus river, something nobody really wants to do now, nevermind 2400 years ago, all to help the Scyths fight against Alexander, who Kineas once served.

Cameron has managed to successfully intergrate the challenges and problems such an undertaking entails into his story without it derailing the narrative. Also, Cameron fills out the back-stories of several of the supporting characters in Kineas' band of brothers, and in doing so, underlines the dangers of life in the ancient world and how men's destinies aren't always what you'd wish them to be.

Another superior effort. Give it a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't stop thinking about it., 27 Feb 2009
By B. S. Peck (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Giving nothing away i think this is one of the best books i have read. i read the first one which was great so i had to buy the second one. some people may find the book slow moving, but i didnt is has all your emotions going whether it be sadness or others. from the ending the book will leave you in a undeniable state but then you will feel shocked. It is a must buy for all but make sure you read the first one.
I finished the book a week ago and im still contemplating what happened now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 16 April 2009
Storm of Arrows is a great sequel to Tyrant. Cameron's books are incredibly rich in history and culture. I don't feel like an outsider when I read the book, I feel like I am in their world. Cameron does a great job balancing action, story, world building, and character development. This is some of the finest historical fiction I have ever read.
