Book Description Hardback: 8¾" x 5½". Condition: Near Fine: Small signs of wear. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Cover Art: Uncredited (illustrator). 1st UK Edition. © 1989: 2nd in the 'Latro' series of books. 1st UK edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: In 'Soldier Of Arete', Gene Wolfe once again takes his readers to the mystic landscape of ancient Greece. It is a time when everyday life is shattered by war and treachery as Xerxes, the Great King, prepares for conquest while goddesses such as Diana the huntress choose mortals to hear their commands. One of those chosen is Latro, least favoured of all the men in the land - or perhaps the most favoured. For Latro's mind has been injured. Each day, he forgets all that has ever happened to him. Only by reading the scroll in which his companions make him write each day's events does he know anything of his past: who are his friends, his enemies, his lovers, his betrayers. Though Latro himself must see his life as a mystery, the reader of 'Soldier Of Arete' sees many things: the riddle of Latro's Roman origins, the nature of his companions. There is the rivalry between Athens and Sparta, between Egypt and Persia. Latro is revealed as a man of enormous prowess in the field of war, a worthy prize for the Thracians and Amazons among whom his travels take him. And all the while, the gods who speak to him, become more real, more insistent, more dangerous:- (original cost £13.95). Seller Inventory # 20.051.00076
