To others he was a monster. The truth is even more extraordinary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a boy, Alexander dreamed of matching the heroic feats of Achilles. At eighteen he led the Macedonian cavalry to a stunning victory against the Greeks. By twenty-five 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNarrated by his boyhood friend Ptolemy, this is the story of Alexander as you have never heard it before: raw, intimate, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe more Cameron's 700-page story progresses, the more impressive it becomes. Detail is piled upon detail to reconstruct the Alexandrian world... brilliantly evoked. Cameron has risen to the challenge of creating a portrait of Alexander that matches - and often eclipses - those of earlier novelists. * SUNDAY TIMES *\u003cbr\u003eThis saga of daring, heroism, vanity and monumental battles reveals a man who believed himself invincible. * CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003eIt's wonderfully descriptive, the characters are fascinating and above  all else it's the story of Alexander that everyone should read... Finally  add to this Christian's wonderful writing style, with cracking prose, a  wonderful sense of pace and when backed with an instantly identifiable  writing style, it's a book that is going to take a hell of a lot to beat  this year especially in the award season, and lets face it, that's  saying something considering how early this one's out. * FALCATA TIMES *","brand":"Orion Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48739059401047,"sku":"9781409135944","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781409135944.jpg?v=1720051037","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/alexander-9781409135944","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
