Book Description

Publication Date: February 20, 2004

In a seemingly impossible venture, Alexander and his men storm Persian fortresses and harbours, crippling King Dariuis' domination of land and sea. Even the legendary Halicarnassus is defeated by the Macedinoan armies. Ruthlessly, Alexander's war machine moves ever onward taking him up into the snow-covered Anatolian highlands, and ever closer to his destiny. But there is much danger ahead. Despite the defeat of Darius, the Island City of Tyre and the Towers of Gaza prove to be formidable obstacles. Undeterred, Alexander surges forth over land and sea to the mysterious land of Egypt. And there, in the sands, lies the Oracle of Ammon, waiting to reveal an amazing truth to Alexander; one that will change his already amazing life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alexander, a Great introduction, December 25, 2010

This review is from: Alexander (Vol. 1): Child of a Dream v. 1 (Alexander Trilogy) (Kindle Edition)

This is a real enjoyable historic novel, mixing fiction along facts researched by the author.

Great page turner and really enjoyable, first volume of a series of 3. If you are interested into ancient Greece this will help you understand the early life of Alexander the Great until he became into power of what would become the most successful army ever known.

Highly recommended!
