In 480 B.C., Xerxes I, king of the Persian Empire, led a vast and
uncountable army intent on the domination of Europe. Only a tiny
collection of Greek city-states stood in his path. At Thermopylae
the Persians annihilated a small holding force commanded by King
Leonidas of Sparta, then quickly marched on to Athens, reducing the
city to ruins. Outnumbered and beset by treachery, Sparta, Athens
and their allies gathered near the town of Plataea for one final
battle. The future of Western civilization hung on the outcome. "In
Kithairon's Shadow" is the story of five men from ancient Greece
and the parts they would play in determining their future, and
ours.
This book is written to acknowledge the Year of The Blues, 2003.
The story is set in the south during the late 1950's. A teenager
from New England joins the carnival and meets a girl while
traveling through Alabama. They befriend an aging black blues
musician and vow to get him recorded. Oblivious to the challenges
of the southern culture and the music industry they are undaunted
in their determination to get him a record deal. The perils they
face bond them closer together as they travel throughout the south.
The fact that it is written by a career musician lends the story
more authenticity.
