The story of how Alexander the Great conquered the world - first crushing Greek resistance to Macedonian rule, then destroying the Persian Empire in three monumental battles, before marching into the unknown and final victory in India - is a truly epic tale that has mesmerised countless generations of listeners. He crammed more adventure into his thirty-three years than any other human being before or since, and now for the first time a novelist will tell the tale in a single suitably epic volume. The combination of Alexander's life story and Christian Cameron's unrivalled skills as an historian and storyteller will ensure that this will not only be the definitive version for many years to come, but also one of the most exciting historical epics ever written.

This is an outstanding fictional biography of Alexander the Great, as told from the viewpoint of his friend, Ptolemy. It stands alone, but could also be considered a part of Cameron's excellent "Tyrant" series, as well. It also connects that series to Cameron's "Killer of Men" series, which takes place during the Greco-Persian wars. Throughout "God of War" and his other works in the two series, Cameron paints a fascinating and detailed picture of life - and death - in the ancient world. His scenes of combat are very vivid, reinforced by his work in experimental archaeology involving that era.
