Conflict of Empires by Sam Barone

Conflict of Empires by Sam Barone

The beginning of civilization is fraught with war, invasion, plunder and rapine. The little city state of Akkad is carving out a mini Empire on the banks of the mighty Tigris river -- prosperity has returned after the bloody pitched battles waged by Akkad's ruler Eskkar and his beautiful wife Trella. But now comes Akkad's greatestthreat from the south: Akkad's rival Sumer, a port city at the hub of the great sea trade routes. Sumer is poisedto give birth to the mightiest empire in history. It is ruled by an incestuous parricide and his power hungry sister who are determined to crush and enslave the nation state on their northern borders. Esskar and Trella must prepare their fledgling nation for total war before it is too late. This time it will be a battle not of villages or of roving warrior bands, but a battle for Empire, for the known world, with no quarter given. As ever Eskkar, the ultimate warrior and battle tactician, must pit his wits againsta vastly superior force in a battle to the death.

Swords, sandals and sex is always a winning formula for an historical epic, and Conflict of Empires provides lashings of all three.. For fans of historical sagas, it's an intriguing insight into a largely forgotten civilisation * The Sun *
A rollicking adventure, a light enjoyable read. For people who like historical novels to be about battles and the hero winning through impossible odds, Conflict of Empires is a must read novel. I'd certainly recommend it to while away the time on a long flight. * Historical Novels Review *
