THE WESTERN GUN GOD

When Andrew inherits his grandfather's mysterious legacy, he receives two impossible gifts: a bronze helmet that can pierce the boundaries of time, and an infinite pocket warehouse that follows him anywhere. There is just one catch—he has only three days before the helmet carries him back to ancient Greece. In those three frantic days, Andrew burns his fortune stockpiling everything a modern man could need in the ancient world: medical supplies, grain, compound bows, firearms and ammunition, steel—a mountain of strategic treasure to make any conqueror weep. When the bronze helmet pulls him through time, he lands in a Greece on the brink of annihilation. Andrew's modern firepower saves the life of Leonidas, King of Sparta, who is stunned to witness impossible weapons cut down his enemies like wheat. Word spreads: a messenger of the gods walks among them. Andrew seizes the moment, traveling from city-state to city-state, wielding persuasion, spectacle, and sheer disbelief to unite the fractious Greeks into a single allied army. They make their stand at Thermopylae—the narrow mountain pass that is Greece's last hope. Andrew transforms the bottleneck into a killing field: hidden traps, automatic rifles where spears once ruled, compound bows with devastating range, and a drone soaring overhead that sees the enemy's every move like the eye of a god. The Persian vanguard is annihilated before it ever reaches the wall of shields. Then the horizon darkens. Xerxes, King of Kings, arrives at the head of a million-strong army, his banners blotting out the sun. At the mouth of the pass, the two men meet across the field—the modern soldier and the ancient emperor—each knowing that everything they have built will be decided in the clash to come. One shot. One stand. The fate of Greece hangs in the balance.
