| | Totally awesome, with only a small risk of death - Telegraph |
 | | This bright-red, sturdy volume by brothers Con and Hal Iggulden is blurbed as "the perfect book for every boy from eight to 80". |
 | | With handsomely illustrated chapters on famous battles, making a bow and arrow, timers and tripwires, and the seven wonders of the ancient world, it promises to fill the void left by the disappearance of anything remotely resembling the boys' annuals of yore. |
 | | Thus all boys should sing, inspired by the Igguldens, as they race over the ringing beach or the open downs in their navy corduroy shorts, pockets stuffed with tripwires, flint arrowheads and Swiss Army penknives. |
