 No Detail Jan 31, 2009
This book seemed to lack a detail and character development. In my opinion the plot was lacking or non existant.

an excellent read Mar 23, 2008
Michael Pritsos' "Hoplite" is a great sign of things to come. This new author does a great job creating vibrant and engaging characters that hold your attention throughout the story. The beginning of the story is a tad bit slow but he does a great job of building the suspense throughout the novel. About halfway through the book I simply couldn't put it down.
Pritsos does an exquisite job of blending many different elements of a story into one. It is a cohesive story about adventure, friendship, love, and loss. It was refreshing and entertaining. This book would appeal to a wide variety of readers, not just fans of historical fiction.
Take a look at this new author's work... I think you'll like what you find.

A young author destined for greatness. Mar 22, 2008
Hoplite: Torch of Prometheus, by Michael Pristos is a great accomplishment of literature, by a young, blooming author. Being Michael's first novel, it has some of the 'beginning author flaws', but that does not disrupt the flow of this novel. Michael has blended a mix of historical fiction with his own imagination; the result being a well crafted novel, full of suspense, action, drama, love and loss.
The novel begins with a young hoplite by the name of Maxities; a bastard son of the king of the fictional town, Devanum. He, with his two half-brothers, venture across the plains and engage in epic battles.
The characters are very well constructed and believable. Pontus, a particular sellsword character, brings a lot of humor to the story, which makes reading that more enjoyable.
Well done, Mr. Pristos on the completion of your first novel. I hope to see more of your work in the near future as I eagerly await the hopeful sequel to this novel.

Bravo! Mar 17, 2008
Written with great detail, each character, place, and event is superbly developed. Staying true to his Greek heritage, the writer did a phenomenal job of interweaving historical accuracy into a work of fiction. Rich with words full of emotion, the writer created an epic story that is undeniably believable, leaving this reader wanting more at the end.
