Destroyer of Cities

Tyrant #5

by Christian Cameron

Demetrius, son of Alexander's former comrade, Antigonus One-Eye, was perhaps the most dashing and charismatic of the Successors, the Macedonian generals who fought a bitter war for the spoils of Alexander's short-lived empire. Still smarting from his epic defeat at the hands of Ptolemy, Demetrius has his eye on one of the richest prizes in the ancient world - the naval superpower of Rhodes.

But the Rhodians know that defeat will mean annihilation, and Demetrius's campaign will entail five separate naval battles over several years before he can begin to breach the city walls - leading him to employ an array of fantastic war machines: ancient super-weapons like his gigantic lens of polished bronze used to focus on the city's wooden ramparts and set them ablaze. If she is to survive against such a merciless assault, Rhodes will need the help of every ally she can muster - including the newly crowned King of the Bosporus, Satyrus, and his fiery twin, Melitta...

Otro muy buen capítulo de toda esta saga! No es difícil imaginarse a Sátiro, Melita y los otros personajes. Quizás no me los imagino físicamente, pero sí me puedo imaginar lo que hacen mientras Cameron lo va narrando, y creo que ese es un muy buen plus.
Esta es la penúltima entrega de esta saga. Solo queda una parte y eso me entristece un poco. Lo bueno de todo esto es que después quiero seguir leyendo libros escritos por Cameron o también libros acerca de novelas similares, tanto en el tema como en el tiempo.
Como anteriormente ha pasado en estas entregas, el final siempre es... no sé si la mejor parte, pero sí la más intensa; uno puede predecir que el final del libro está cerca.
Es bueno saber que cuando conoces a un personaje como Sátiro, que fue descrito desde que nació hasta lo que ha llegado a ser ahora, porque puedes analizarlo en profundidad; lo mismo pasa con Melita. Es como que te vas enterando de toda la vida de ambos y los vas siguiendo, así como un "influencer".
Ya falta solo un libro y podré sacar mi conclusión final, dependiendo de como termine toda esta historia.

Si pueden, lean esta saga completa, que en mi opnión no está tan valorada como debiera ser.

4.25/5

Destroyer of Cities was pretty action packed as we are still in the Wars of the Diadochi/Successor Wars. The main focus was the Siege of Rhodes from 305-304BC. It is set a few years after King of the Bosporus and during that time Satyrus has been leading Tanais while Melitta is Queen of the Assaegatae out on the steppes. As King of Tanais, Satyrus is largely now dealing with economic challenges and particularly that of the grain trade with Athens. Melitta, on the other hand, finds herself dealing with a new threat to Euxine farmers, the Parni.

But everything eventually leads to Rhodes, where Demetrius the Golden attempts to break the naval city in a year-long siege. And there is Satyrus and his forces trapped on Rhodes and determined to defend the city to the last.

Cameron pretty much always delivers high quality historical fiction and Destroyer of Cities was no exception. It was especially interesting to see it showcase the cunning and challenges of siege warfare on an island, and the very human cost.

Must say I’m a big fan of Christian Camerons Historical Fiction Novels.
Tyrant V: Destroyer of Cities did meet my high expectations.
Rooted in the Wars of the Diadochi- era- the succession wars over Alexander the Great’s leacy, Tyrant V features the siege of Rhodes 305-304 BC by Demetrios, the golden one, son of Antigonus one- eye.
The protagonists of the novel, Satyrus and Melitta, the children of Kineas of Athens and Srayanka, queen of the Assagetae (The Skythians) featured in Tyrant 1 and 2. Have risen to power themselves als King of the Bosporus and Queen of the Assagetae. (Tyrant 4), now they both get drawn into the conflict between Demetrios and Ptolmy.
King of the bosporus Satyrus has to protect his economy , which relies heavily on the grain production and grain trade, and for that he needs that independent distribution and consumption market, which is is Rhodes. With Athens, Greece and Asia minor already firmly in the grip of Demetrios, it is vital for the Kingdom of the Bosphorus to support its old allies Ptolmy and Rhodes – the ones that helped Satyrus carve out his kingdom in the first place- to retain the balance, and retain the independence of the Kingdom.
When he sets off in spring with his grain fleet and war-fleet to protect it- before he knows it he’s in the middle of the Maelstrom. He’s in the big sea battles, in the sea raids to protect Egypt from the invasion of Antigonus one-eye, and eventually ends up on Rhodes where he is in the middle of the siege, and becomes one of the key figures in the defence, aided by his twin sister amazon queen and her warriors who ships in to support her brother.
In all of this Christian Cameron plays the plot with a masterful hand. Stunning sea action, stunning battle action, wily naval and defence tactics, and a stunning level of historical detail in all of this that makes it all so vivid like you’re really there in midddle of the turmoil of the hellenistic world in 305 and 304 BC.

In Tyrant V- Christian Cameron also connects and links his two major novel series in the classic greek and hellenistic era- the Tyrant series and the Long War series. The bloodline of Arimnestos the Plataean from the long war series flows through Kineas of Athens straight into the bloodline of the Kings of the Bosphorus. What a family of heroes!.

As far as I know there is no historical evidence whatsoever that puts the King of the Bosporus directly in the middle of the siege of Rhodes, but for me as a reader Christian Cameron is excused for taking this liberty. Satyrus is a great hero, and moreover a very credible and human hero. The perfect vessel for Christian Cameron to play out his superb narrative skills and vast encyclopedical knowledge of the era.

Tyrant V is a good stand alone, but also one of the highlights of the Tyrant series so far.
Reading it felt like meeting old friends.

One point of critizism.. The cover is ugly as hell, but I got much too much reading pleasure from Tyrant V to let that affect my rating :)

Review

Cards on the table I'm a big fan of the writing of Christian Cameron, that said i approach every book by every author with the same open expectation of "wow me".

It was like having old friends come to visit with wild tales of exploits and adventure ... Simply brilliant.

Reading Tyrant Destroyer of Cities has had that WOW, it is a fantastic tale broad in scope, both for stand out historical moments and also Great names from Greek history and yet its still written and characterised in such detail that you live east sleep and breathe the ancient Greek world.

As it was the 5th book in the series it was like donning your favourite slippers, and slumping in a favourite armchair with a nice cuppa, a lovely comfortable feeling, and yet still full of emotion and action to have you wanting to step into the line of battle and save some of those wonderful characters, to weep at the waste of life, so hug your comrades in words and arms. As ever Christians attention to detail and history is second to none. Add to that the fact that his sea borne stories get better and more detailed with every one, putting him up there with the greats of the waves like O'Brian, it almost feels he wrote the book whilst riding the waves.

Another personal like is that there is yet another link to the Long War series and Satyrus's ancestor Arimnestos of Plataea coupled with the demi god Herakles, it adds that extra dimension bringing the whole Cameron world together.

You can read this as a stand alone tale, but i would say dive in at book one and follow the journey of the whole family... and then get the long war series and follow the tales of Arimnestos of Plataea. There is no finer writer of Historical Fiction and adventure.

Very Highly Recommended

[Clemens Schoonderwoert · Rating 5 out of 5]

This astonishing book is the 5th volume of the wonderful and gripping Tyrant series.
Once more the book has been historically very well researched and described in the historical and author's note at the end of the book, and you'll find a well defined glossary at the beginning of the book as well.
Great storytelling makes it once again an absolute joy to read this tale, simply because from start to finish this thrilling adventure keeps you spellbound and gripped throughout.
The book starts off in the year 306 BC until well into the year 305 BC, and it tells us mainly about the Siege of Rhodes by Demetrios, son of Antigonus One-Eye.
Demetrios is determined to take Rhodes at all costs, and so he and his army and fleet are completely surrounding Rhodes with deadly siege engins to destroy the city.
Against him he will find Satyrus, King of the Bosporus, who's surrounded by his closest friends, and this same Satyrus is determined to save the city from destruction.
What will follow is a thrilling book with great battle scenes, wonderful interaction between all the characters within this very entertaining tale, not forgetting of course dirty politics, intrigue and treachery, and last but not least a most fascinating and exciting telling of the Siege of Rhodes itself.
Very much recommended, for this is a superb historical novel, and one that I like to call as "A Tremendous Read"!

[Miguel Angel Pedrajas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Espectacular la quinta y penúltima entrega de la saga “Tirano”. Esta novela encierra dentro acción a raudales y suficientes elementos épicos que no te dejarán soltarla hasta que la hayas devorado.

Sigue siendo una novela histórica ubicada en medio de la guerra de los Diádocos (los sucesores de Alejandro Magno). En esta parte es donde el enfrentamiento de algunos de esos sucesores se hace más palpable y envuelve a los protagonistas. Obviamente el autor se toma algunas licencias históricas para poder situar a sus personajes en pleno meollo, pero lo que narra con su estilo ameno y heroico tiene lugar en uno de los acontecimientos históricos tan grandes de aquella época, que una vez acabado el libro necesitas documentarte para saber más.

En “Destructor de ciudades” tendrás muchos combates navales, casi tantos o más que en el anterior episodio (Tirano. El rey del bósforo). Christian Cameron se reconoce fan de Patrick O’Brian y quería explorar el arte de la guerra y el mar en la época antigua, con piratas y diferentes bandos compitiendo por el dominio marítimo. Y lo cierto es que lo hace de maravilla.


En esta ocasión, los hermanos Sátiro y Melita no comparten a partes iguales el protagonismo de la novela. Sátiro tiene muchísimo más protagonismo que su hermana. Pero lo cierto es que Sátiro se ve atrapado en un acontecimiento histórico de primera magnitud del que no puede escapar: el sitio de Rodas. Demetrio lanza toda su flota y casi todo su contingente para hacerse con la ciudad, dejando atrapada dentro a las fuerzas de Sátiro. Durante casi cuatrocientas páginas leeremos los enfrentamientos, ingenios, miserias, triunfos y derrotas en este suceso que casi acabó por completo con la mítica ciudad de Rodas. Y Cameron lo hace tan bien que es imposible soltar el libro.

No sé si el libro es tan bueno como Tirano: Tormenta de Flechas o Tirano. Juegos funerarios. Pero lo cierto es que me ha tenido muy atrapado en sus páginas. No sé si recomendar esta saga tan fácilmente. No me malinterpretéis: son seis novelas bastante tochas envueltas en una guerra histórica que realmente no es la de los protagonistas. En algunas partes tiene algún bajón. Pero sí puedo deciros que habiendo leído cinco de las seis, ya son tres las que me parecen que tienen una nota sobresaliente. Así que puedo decir que si te gustan las novelas históricas de la antigüedad, “Tirano” es más que recomendable.

[Clay Kallam · Rating 4 out of 5]

I stumbled into this six-book series by way of one of my favorite recent fantasy series, the Traitor Son Cycle by Miles Cameron. I noticed that, for some unknown reason, Cameron also wrote under the name of Christian Cameron, and had a series set in the time of Alexander the Great.

As one who knows way too much about that Hellenistic time period, and one who loved Cameron’s previous work, I was all in from the moment I started volume one, Tyrant. And as this is a connected series that really needs to be read in order to be appreciated, this review is of all six books considered as a whole, rather than a review of each book (though parenthetical notes will be appended for each).

The story covers about 30 years of ancient history, ending in 301 BCE at the Battle of Ipsos. Now if you already know who won the Battle of Ipsos, you will be a little too far ahead of the game, for much of the suspense of the series (which includes other historical events) will be lost – and you will also be surprised by some revisions Cameron makes in order to tell the story the way he wants to.

But the basic premise is this: Cameron inserts fictional, high-ranking characters into the complicated weave of Hellenistic history, and has them participate in events both major and minor. For the most part, this works extremely well, as Cameron’s grasp of the minutiae of Hellenistic life and his gritty sense of the bloody, painful and horrific cost of ancient warfare is superb. He is also an excellent writer, so the story moves along at a brisk pace, flagging only momentarily in the later volumes.

There are issues, of course. Like Star Trek, Kineas and Satyrus, the two main protagonists, are in the front lines way too often to be believed, especially in the later books, and their interactions with the major historical figures seem unnecessary, as if the editors insisted that somehow Kineas and Alexander are in contact, and so are Satyrus and various Hellenistic leaders.

Cameron, though, is perfectly willing to kill off major characters, and in sudden and unexpected ways, which adds a tremendous amount of tension to battle scenes and assassination attempts (unlike Star Trek). There’s also some magical realism thrown in, but any attempt to explain the plot would require much more patience than any reader of this review is likely to have.

But in short, Kineas, Satyrus and his woefully underutilized twin sister Melitta (why wasn’t she more prominent in the narrative?), all represent what we now consider Southern Russia, at the north of what we call the Black Sea. In those times, it was the place where the steppe nomads and expanding population of farmers and colonizers crossed paths, and it became a crucial part of the Hellenistic game of thrones given its ability to produce grain that the Mediterranean cities desperately needed to feed their people.

So Cameron tosses these characters, their soldiers and their grain into the Hellenistic mix, and in the end, comes up with a wonderful series that I enjoyed from start to finish. Then again, I love excellent historical fiction, and this is my favorite period, so I’m hardly unbiased. But I will say this: If you have even a passing interest in the world of Alexander the Great after his death, the Tyrant series is for you. I just wish there were more than six volumes.

* * * * *

As the protagonists move closer to the center stage of history, those who have some grasp of Hellenistic times will begin to know what's going to happen. Granted, Cameron changes things up -- the months'-long struggle that takes up the second half of the book didn't really play out exactly as he describes it -- but the relationship between the relatively well known historical character Demetrios and the fictional Satyrus is overdone and takes over too much of the narrative in the last two books.

[Chris Wray · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed this penultimate entry in the Tyrant series, and the historical setting in which Satryus and Melitta live is fascinating. The fact that they control small (Satryus) and peripheral (Melitta) kingdoms that are caught up in the clash of empires that followed the death of Alexander the Great is an interesting twist on the genre, and the siege of Rhodes provided a great backdrop to the second half of the book. Satryus is still not quite a compelling character, but is more interesting and has more depth than in earlier books in the series. Like Kineas before him, he is all too aware of his flaws and mortality, and that makes him human and quite convincing. It is also interesting to see him start to learn to be a king.

There were also a few things that annoyed me and that held me back from giving this four stars. The first is Melitta herself, as her character was pretty pointless in this book. I also remain unconvinced that a high-born Greek lady could transform herself into the warrior queen of the Scyths. Another unconvincing thing was the ending, as the final victory was just a little bit too convenient. I get that it was meant to be like a storm breaking after the tension had mounted over several hundred pages, but it just didn't feel quite right to me. Some of the dialogue was also a bit irritating and sounded too modern. This might all sound like nitpicking, but I have come to expect a lot from this series. Altogether, this was an enjoyable enough read, but it missed out on being anything more.

[Rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

The majority of this book focuses on Satyrus as he gets stuck on Rhodes just as it comes under siege. How convenient :) But it does allow the author to explore a different form of warfare compared to the usual field-based battles we've seen in the previous books, with all of the logistical and psychological aspects that emerge. There is also space to get to know the opponent, Demetrios, who has grown up reading all the classics of the age and (perhaps inevitably) starts to see himself as a new Achilles with Rhodes as his own version of Troy. Maybe someone should have reminded him that it didn't exactly end well for Achilles...

As ever, the novel is well-researched, which adds a vividness to it all. And the characters are their usual complex selves, which again adds that realism - and makes the novel satisfying to read as the characters are not just growing up through the series, but maturing emotionally as well. Having been annoyed by his mooning over her in the previous book, it was particularly good to see Satyrus finally realise that Amastris is a selfish, spoilt brat and wholly unsuitable as a potential partner for him.

There are a couple of typos in this hardback edition, particularly near the end, but I'm going to assume those were corrected for subsequent paperback editions. One particularly noticeable error rather confusingly briefly inserts Satyrus into a conversation that he's definitely not part of.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and will now have to try and find the next one in the series.

[Matt Heppe · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am a huge fan of Christian Cameron's books. This one did not disappoint. As usual Cameron does a wonderful job filling his novels with historical detail without sounding like he is lecturing you. The rich history and culture of the Hellenistic world comes through as a natural part of the story.

Filled with gripping action, the novel follows Satyrus (mostly) and Melitta (to a much lesser extent) as they take part in the epic Siege of Rhodes. I am very much looking forward to the next book in the series.

[Austin Greenwood · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fantastic story in and of itself

Even though this is book five in a series of six, it could be a standalone story. Most of the book features the siege of Rhodes and it is packed with action, love, loss, and intrigue. Cameron is handily my favorite author, and this book only reinforces my feelings in that regard.

[Michael · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m a huge fan of Cameron and have read the Arimnestos series and have loved Tyrant so far. This, however, is not my favorite in the series. I was initially excited to see that it was going to be about the siege of Rhodes, having read “Elephants and Castles” by Alfred Duggan and “The Bronze God of Rhodes” by L Sprague de Camp, neither of which gave enough detail for me and, of course, the Rhodes traders series by Harry Turtledove.
And Rhodes has always had a special place in classical Greece…their anti-pirate stance, the neutrality during the successor wars, their maritime skills.
I had two problems with this book; one was merely my own expectations. I have gotten used to a certain mobility of action in Cameron’s books. These guys GO PLACES! Multiple sea voyages or long horse trips to different places. This book took us through the siege in every aspect. And that’s it.
By the end I barely remembered the exciting battle of Salamis Cyprus or any of the storms and naval adventures, so beaten down was I by the siege!!
The second was the near total absence of any actual Rhodians in the whole book! Panther was great but the rest of the boule were just barely mentioned ineffectual idiots. I just felt Satyrus was given far too central of a role. I absolutely understand that a writer has to limit the focus of his cast of characters in a book like this, but I really think the Rhodians were given a short shrift in a book about their city besieged!
Oh well, there was still a lot to like….the triangle between Satyrus, Miriam and Anaxagoras was a welcome addition. And the details of siege warfare at this particular time were great! What would have helped enormously would have been a detailed map of Rhodes!!! I became somewhat confused and I’m pretty sure I just settled on a completely inaccurate picture of the city/harbors in my head!

[Helen · Rating 5 out of 5]

My knowledge of this period is limited to a quick gallop through Alexander. I know the city of Rhodes but did not know about this terrifying siege. I should have started this series back a couple of volumes but it doesn't matter because the connections between nation groups is made clear as you go along.
This was absolutely enthralling and provides an entirely different view of the Mediterranean world after Alexander from what one would expect unless you stop a minute and realise that the whole area was so shaken up under those wild Alexandrian years that there was absolutely no reason why armies shouldn't have large numbers of "foreign" troops: archers, slingers, engineers, and general duty soldiers all for hire. I was surprised by the female archers but why not?
Thrilling and I'm going to work backward and forward through this series.

[Unbestechlich · Rating 3 out of 5]

3,5
The first two books were masterpieces, the third one I liked very much. But the fourth and now the fifth one begin to change my attitude to the series. This one's plot ( unlike the previous one) was good even if the siege description was too looong. But the final fight and duel, black and white presentation of some characters spoiled the impression. two main characters who grow more whimsical, blind and hypocrite and cause good people's deaths irritate me more and more .

The grain trade is central to the survival of the Kingdom of the Bosporus. Satyrus goes to the aid of ally and trading partner Rhodes as Demetrius, son of Antigonus, puts the city under siege. Historical fiction at its best!

[Liviu · Rating 5 out of 5]

The 3rd Satyrus and Melitta novel and moving ahead in time some 5-6 years after the events of King of the Bosporus, Destroyer of Cities continues superbly the series with high octane action, narrative energy and the usual "realistic feel" of the author.

While the main event is indeed the famous siege of Rhodes, the book covers much more and is chock full of action, intrigue and powerful moments.

The prose style is very smooth - this was the main issue in the earlier C. Cameron novels but now the author seems to write effortlessly and roll on all cylinders.

The historical background is reasonably accurate - of course the main hero of the story Satyrus and his role are inventions but they are inspired from the real story as the author describes in the afterword.

If you are familiar with the author's work you will recognize quite a few motives and pieces of action, both naval and on land - while #5 this works well as a standalone with the back story alluded too

As for negatives, it depends on what you want from this book - Satyrus who finally grows to be the the larger than life character that Kineas was, all the action that is somewhat more suited for sff than historical fiction...

My least favorite of all the Tyrant books. In Destroyer of Cities, Kineas' son, Satyrus, seems more resilient and unbeatable than his near demi-godlike father. And seems to follow a predictable course. He enters a major battle, miraculously defeating all enemies, yet, despite his win, his allies still seem to be losing. This happens a couple of times, then he gets hurt badly, or deathly sick, is out of commission for a while. then he returns and the process begins again. SPOILER ALERT: He dominates the story and he wins. Also, his twin sister, Mellita appears to play a minor role in the book, seemingly added onto her brother's tale, for some reason, adding little too the story until the very end. where she makes an appearance, shoots her bow, and, of course, ....Spoiler..... she succeeds in hitting her target,

[Jeff Frane · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent volume in Cameron's series on the Diadochi, the successors to Alexander the Great. Most of the book takes place during the year-long siege of Rhodes, which ultimately resulted in the abandonment of the siege by the aggressor. Cameron seems to be getting better and better, especially in comparison to a few of the earlier books in the series. There is a "final" volume in the series published this year, although the author is a little cagy about whether or not the series is really over.

[Steve · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great addition to Tyrant series. Satirus and Melitta are at their prime and continue to fight for their right.
Cameron comes back to the seas and as always delivers an incredible insight into ancient naval warfare.
This installation of the series also brings a new phase to historical and warfare account of the period with an engaging and detailed view into siege warfare.
Well written and entertaining, with never failing action and combat.

[Ian · Rating 3 out of 5]

The siege of the great city of Rhodes, by Demetrios the Besieger of Cities, told through the eyes of a defender. Well, what can I say? Well written, exciting, lots of political and personal details, but, I grew tired of the constant slaughter, death, and destruction. I raced through the last half of the novel. If anything, this novel tells how dumb things are repeated through history.

I would recommend to any interested reader of histfic, but I don't believe I will be rereading.

¡Que buen libro! es el último (por ahora) de la saga y la guerra de los Diádocos cada vez es mejor.
