Gods of Men, Where the Spartans are Made
Remus, Philip
As the road to a new war is steadily laid, the powerful city states of Athens and Sparta move steadily towards the inevitable conflict. As these great events unfold, the boy Lysander begins his long and violent education, and it’s not long before the boy herder recognizes that Lysander is no ordinary student.
From one of my Readers: "Remus has decided to tackle an extremely difficult subject and I dare say he is also the first to take that particular shot and having great results. Without resulting to dilute the story with the trivia of Spartan education, society and politics (something that plagues other stories of the type) he goes into depth on the multifaceted theme by having done actual research beforehand. The book's plot and characters manage to remain extremely engaging from start to finish which is a rarity in of itself. This work deserves much more time in the spotlight that it is being given. "Underrated" is a perfect description of this small masterpiece."
