After decades of civil war and bloodshed, the exhausted Terrans are unprepared for what is coming. An apocalyptic war looms, and few believe it is a war that can be survived, let alone won. As Terran colonies evacuate, the mighty Laconians stand alone against the merciless Empire and its limitless legions. But like the famous 300 Spartans before them, they will fight to the end, no matter the odds, and they will never surrender.

Their new King, the bold and ambitious Agesilaus plans the unthinkable. Inspired by the valour and adventures of the infamous Ten Thousand mercenaries, he launches a pre-emptive strike against the Empire with a host of warriors, freed slave soldiers and legions of mercenaries. Together with his twin sister, the warrior princess Kyniska they will lead the attack and they will not stop until their enemies are brought to their knees.

Warrior King is the first book in the 'Star Legions: The Terran Wars' series by Michael G. Thomas, the bestselling author of the Star Crusades series. This is the standalone sequel series to the bestselling 'Star Legions: Ten Thousand' series (now available as a discounted 7 book box set).
