Praise for Blood of Kings
'Extremely compelling..... an almost Game of Thrones feel at times. The novel is certainly a page-turner...I look forward to reading a continuation' Ancient Warfare Magazine
'This is a brilliantly written and scrupulously researched historical novel that uniquely captures the atmosphere surrounding the rise to power of Darius, the greatest king of Ancient Persia. His story is interwoven with parallel events in Egypt and Greece, making this novel of absorbing interest to anybody with an interest in the ancient world' Dr John Curtis, OBE, FBA, formerly Keeper of the Department of Middle East, the British Museum
It is 530 BC and Cyrus the Great has carved out the largest Empire the world had ever seen, making Persia the undisputed superpower of the ancient world. But there is treachery afoot, and Cyrus's life is in danger.
In a fast paced tale of love, war, betrayal and revenge, Blood of Kings sweeps the reader up on an epic journey from the mud brick cities of Ancient Persia to the burning heart of Pharaoh's Egypt. Packed full of dramatic and authentic battle scenes, it recreates the sweat, blood and fear of ancient warfare, as Persia smashes Egypt's army and brings the reign of the Pharaohs to a violent end.
But it is also a book that will delight Herodotus fans, bringing the ancient Greek historian's characters to life like never before, as it follows the doomed 'lost army of Cambyses' into the Libyan Desert, marching towards a fate that would baffle archaeologists for millennia to come.
'You must read Blood of Kings. . . a masterpiece of historical fiction' Dr Bryan Wood, Author
'Vivid...original and fascinating' F. Bailey, Scriptwriter for BBC's 'Peak Practice'
'Andrew James has captured the very spirit of the Ancient Achaemenids . . . he literally takes the reader back in time to the Persians of old. I would highly recommend this historical novel . . .' Dr Kaveh Farrokh, Lecturer and Reader of History at the University of British Columbia Continuing Studies Division
Blood of Kings eBook Andrew James
This was a good fictional account of ancient Persia I have not read anything in this subject and was pleased with the amount of detail. There is a minor romantic part of the book that could have been cut out without impacting much of the plot. I do recommend this book.Product details

Blood of Kings eBook Andrew James Reviews
This book is one of the best I have read recently. It was interesting and very entertaining. If you are interested in the Persian empire or historical fiction read this book. A+
I enjoyed the mostly realistic characters and intrigue of power struggles, but especially the well-researched historical background.
Well told story about an era of history that has not been told before.
Looking forward to another novel to continue the epic story.
If you like Wilbur Smith style historical fiction, you will like this book. It is well researched and well written. I hope Andrew James comes out with a sequel.
I have read many books on the Pharaohs and kings, so I wasn't expecting to be wowed. I was in for a delightful surprise . It got a little gritty, but I'm sure the reality was worse. Would definitely read this author again
Great imagination goes into writing a book like this and making it seem believable. Andrew James does a great job of providing a setting that is well researched but breathes new life into it with his writing.
Far too much detail. This author needs a good editor to tell him what to leave out. The first 70% of the book was tedious and the pace only quickened up with the battle scenes. The final 30% made up for the rest of the book.
This was a good fictional account of ancient Persia I have not read anything in this subject and was pleased with the amount of detail. There is a minor romantic part of the book that could have been cut out without impacting much of the plot. I do recommend this book.
