I recently read Creation by Gore Vidal ranagrande Send a noteboard - 31/08/2009 10:12:59 PM
and I would recommend it to any historical fiction fans. The main character is the grandson of Zoroaster, and the book pretty much consists of him describing his life during the beginning of the end of the Persian empire.
