After a daring escape, Marcus has many adventures working with the Hun army as a mercenary. Throughout this harrowing journey, Marcus learns about Chinese philosophies, uncovering the startling similarities between these philosophies and those of Greece. 588 0 Vendor-supplied metadata. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 647 7 Battle of Carrhae|c(Turkey :|d53 B.C.)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1896187 648 7 53-53 B.C.|2fast 650 0 Philosophy, Chinese|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85100886|vFiction.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001562 650 0 Philosophy, Ancient|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85100861|vFiction.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001562 650 0 Carrhae, Battle of, Turkey, 53 B.C.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2011002007|vFiction.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001562 650 7 Philosophy, Chinese.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1060917 650 7 Philosophy, Ancient.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1060860 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 0 Silk Road|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85122554|vFiction.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001562 651 0 China|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85024032|vFiction.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001562 651 7 China.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1206073 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Fiction.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms /gf2014026339 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1221076|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
