This next batch of books in my 2020 Reading Queue are historical fiction. Gareth Hinds' The Iliad is a graphic novel retelling Homer's classic tale. Steven Pressfield took up half of this batch of books: his Gates of Fire centered around the battle of Thermopylae between the Greeks and the Persians; Tides of War focused on the life of Alcibiades in the Peloponnesian Wars; The Virtues of War told the story of Alexander the Great's conquests. Robert Harris' Dictator was the third book in his Cicero Trilogy, and Samurai Rising was a great retelling of the birth of the samurai in ancient Japan.
