Battlefront: Marathon (Nick Ryan's Battlefront Collection)

By Nick Ryan

In 490 BC, at the height of political tensions between Persia and the Greek city-states, the Persian King, Darius I, conceived a daring plan to destroy Athens. A fleet of 600 Persian warships set sail, carrying a vast army of soldiers. They landed at the Bay of Marathon and made plans to march across country to besiege the city. But the Athenians intercepted the Persians with a force of just ten thousand hoplites and prepared to defend their land, despite being greatly outnumbered... This is not another dry dusty textbook! This is a gripping action-packed historical fiction thriller that depicts the Battle of Marathon in gritty blood-drenched detail. The combat scenes are brutal and compelling, the tension electrifying, and the action unrelenting.
