About
The Peloponnesian War has begun. An army of merciless Spartan invaders have arrived at the gates of Plataea, bent on obliterating the city and all inside. The Plataeans dig in behind their high walls, while on a rugged mountain road, a young Plataean warrior named Nikias rides to Athens on an urgent quest, hoping to raise an army of mercenaries to help defend his city. But in Athens, Nikias encounters perils that prove to be more dangerous than those he has faced on the battlefield.

"Crammed with twists and turns, Spartans at the Gates is a high-adrenaline tale of battle and intrigue, honor and treachery, that once underway never lets up its pace. Throughout the novel Smith's passion for his subject shines through, and the struggles against the odds of his young heroes, Nikias and Kolax, are told with verve and a keen eye for the detail of life in ancient Greece."
