Heroes

I love Manfredi's books both historic and modern. He treats his characters as real people with very real problems and not just as mythical beings and I find the historical facts very interesting, this is how history should be taught in schools.

Love the way this guy writes - takes you there and knows his stuff...should do as he is a History Professor in Milan...puts you right into history and the flavour of the times, surroundings, lifestyles etc.

Classic story Greek classical writers would approve of.....Mr Manfredi has become one of my favourite authors - his background as an Archaeologist means that he is able to add colour to historically accurate facts and bring the characters to life. A must read for fans of "Troy" and "The eagle of the ninth".

Manfredi is the best I've read on Greek classical (fictional) history. He captures the essance of what they were trying to achieve in that period of time. And hes getting better with every new book. My hat is off to you Valerio.Glenn

Another great book by Valerio who always seems to write the kind of books I love to read.I liked the story and its well written

Well written,as are all Manfredi's books.. I would recommend it to anyone who likes historical fiction. A really good buy.

Usual high standard from a brilliant author.

Manfredi knows how to tell a good story
