Cyrus has a secret plan to strike against his brother Artaxerxes, and seize the throne of Persia. Xenophon and twelve thousand cheated Greek mercenaries fi nd themselves stuck in the middle of the world’s largest empire, betrayed, outnumbered and besieged.

The king gives them two options; surrender unconditionally and face a life of slavery or die.

They decide to take the third option and fight their way home!
