Fall of Honor, by Dan Lyons

In?Fall of Honor ,?Dan Lyons has written a masterpiece for the ages! I could not put this book down. This riveting page-turner is historical fiction and navigates us through Ancient Greece as the mighty Persian Empire's army and navy, led by King Xerxes, attacks Ancient Greece in the infamous land and sea battles in 480 BCE.?

Told in the first person, the story follows a Greek sailor (Lysis), a former Spartan King turned traitor (Damaratus), King Xerxes of Persia, and King Leonidas of Sparta as his 300 elite and noble soldiers fend off tens of thousands of fear-laden Persians in the Battle of Thermopylae.

Dan Lyons skillfully guides us through a tumultuous journey of emotions, starting with love and romance. The forces of honor and nobility clash with greed and ego. We cannot help but be there in the moment, smelling the sweat and blood, walking in the devastation, and drowning in the ocean. Meanwhile, we despise the dictators and traitors as we cheer for the noble leaders who fight for the republic and praise freedom against evil, all while we protect ourselves behind a 4-foot shield, lunge with an 8-foot spear, or stroke the oar of a 200-foot trireme.

The narrative builds up to a crescendo of bravery and vengeance, deeply moving us.?Our fears are transmuted into courage alongside Lysis as we are inspired by the words and leadership of Leonidas and?Themistocles.
