"Thermopylae" by Paul Cartelage. It can be a bit dry and times but it's factual accuracy is fascinating.

Writing wise, it was dismal. And if you had read any of his other novels before you read this one, you would have realised who the bad guy was about 1/3 of the way into it.

All of the novels I've read from him: protagonist gets sucked into an idiotic scandal that puts life in danger. He goes and spills the beans to the closest old crackpot he can find. The old crackpot turns out to be the bad guy.

He adds so much irrelevant and romantacised jabber, it's annoying.
