I have always been interested in Alexander the Great and this was a fun way to learn about him without being bored to death! It seems well researched and the historical information is accurate. He presents the information in a storyteller fashion and I was able to view Alexander the man, the son and the leader. It was very poignant and I really enjoyed it.

Alexander the Great built a vast empire in only 11 years. But as he ran out of worlds to conquer, his enemies grew bolder. Now, in this historical thriller, the legendary military genius is shown through the eyes of his trusted friend - whose alleged role in Alexander's untimely demise could earn him a death sentence.
