Satyrus and Melitta, twin heirs to a rich kingdom on the Black Sea, become desperate fugitives when their mother, the Scythian warrior-princess Srayanka, is cut down in a savage act of betrayal. Accompanied by their tutor, the Spartan Philokles, they must make a perilous journey west, pursued by ruthless assassins, to find sanctuary with the army of their father's closest friend, Diodorus. But Diodorus is caught up in the tangled web of alliances, betrayals and intrigue that followed Alexander the Great's death, as his generals fought over the huge empire he had created - and soon the twins will have their first taste of real battle as two Macedonian warlords clash. In this violent and unstable world, they must chose sides carefully, as Antigonus One-Eye, and his brilliant son Demetrius, prepare to take on the might of Ptolemy's Egypt, and the forces gather for the biggest and most spectacular battle the world had ever seen - Gaza.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great historical fiction,
By Hepius (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Funeral Games (Tyrant 3) (Hardcover)
This was the best Tyrant novel yet. Kineas' children find their world turned upside down and are thrown into a desperate struggle for survival. The novel was the most action-packed of the three Tyrant novels, including a huge phalanx-eye view of a battle. As usual, Cameron's writing fully involves the reader in the historical era. He has definitely become my favorite historical fiction author.

What an adventure!,

This review is from: Funeral Games (Tyrant 3) (Hardcover)
What can I say, this book has everything, Love, Lies, sex, blood... everything you would want in a historical fictional novel. Cant wait to read the fourth Tyrant book. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading about honor, formation of a brotherhood, a story with an adventure that is surreal.

This review is from: Funeral Games. Christian Cameron (Tyrant 3) (Paperback)
The author is American, but his books are published in England. I ran into a copy in Santorini. Now I order them from England for ridiculously low prices. The transportation is more. And they come in New condition!
