<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BenSi, post: 3511724, member: 95174&quot;]I have several books that deal with the history of the empire but the late Byzantine empire before its first fall ( To the Latins) is difficult to come by. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, the best Byzantine historical fiction I have read is by <b>Eileen Stephenson</b>. She wrote a group of short stories that are superb and I have been reading her first novel it is very good so far but I refuse to rush it so I cannot give you a complete review yet. A new book of hers&nbsp; is history of the 11th century Byzantine empire coming out on kindle in June. The hard back version came out yesterday. Here is the books intro</p><p><br /></p><p>The formidable Byzantine Empire lasted over a thousand years, but the fruit of its greatness and the seeds of its destruction can be found in the 11th century. This book is a brief introduction to the leading figures and events of those pivotal years – those who brought the empire to its pinnacle; the others who carelessly wasted its military might and treasure; and the hero who began its slow recovery. The drama of a hundred years of rebellions and murders, romance and political scheming will bring this fascinating civilization to life for the reader</p><p><br /></p><p>Her older books the short stories and Imperial Passions are available on kindle at very cheap prices. </p><p>If you are interested in Byzantine history I really recommend her books, they really help bring life to the coins and are far more fun than the dryer history books.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
