3.0 out of 5 stars A good war story for a winters eve., Jan 11 2004
A good story, it suitably continues the saga of Falkenberg's Legion and the ending, while a little weak is still satisfying.

Just to correct a previous reviewer, the title actually comes from a memorial to the Spartan dead at the battle of Thermopylae, when the Spartan king Leonidas & his three hundred men faced an army over eight hundred thousand Persians under King Xerxes. They held for six days before falling, and bought the time for the armies of Greece to mobilise. Actually thinking about it, that is a common theme in this series, as Falkenberg and Lermentov both state that armies can never achieve anything, they can only buy time to achieve it in.
The memorial reads - "go tell the spartans, stranger passing by, that here, obedient to their laws, we lie."

Read "Gates Of Fire" by Steven Pressfield if you want to learn more, if you liked this one, you'll probably like that one too.
