Steven Pressfield All Books Editorial Review

A Man at Arms by Steven Pressfield is a gripping tale set in the Roman Empire during the time of Christ. The story follows Telamon of Arcadia, a hard-bitten veteran turned mercenary, who is tasked with intercepting a letter written to the Christians at Corinth and its messenger. However, his encounter with a mute child named Ruth changes his thinking, and he ends up helping to deliver the letter to its destination despite the many obstacles along the way. The author's vivid descriptions of the Sinai and Telamon's slow transformation from a cynical, self-interested mercenary to a man committed to a larger mission make this book a fascinating read. The use of old-fashioned language is questionable, but it adds to the authenticity of the story. The characters are well-written and realistic, making it an enjoyable and transporting read. Overall, highly recommended.
