The ultimate historical adventure novel: the life of Alexander
the Great in a single, epic volume
To many he was a god. To others he was a monster. The truth is
even more extraordinary. As a boy, Alexander dreamed of matching
the heroic feats of Achilles. At 18 he led the Macedonian cavalry
to a stunning victory against the Greeks. By 25 he had crushed the
Persians in three monumental battles and was the master of the
greatest empire the world had ever seen. Men began to call him a
god. But behind the legend was another, more complex story.
Narrated by his boyhood friend Ptolemy, this is the story of
Alexander as you have never heard it before: raw, intimate, and
thrilling--a story of extraordinary daring and unimaginable
endurance; of wanton destruction and murderous intrigue--the epic
tragedy of a man who aimed to be more than human. Includes a
glossary.
