El ejército macedonio se adentra en Babilonia y asesta el golpe final al secular imperio persa. Alejandro aspira a convertir el mundo conocido en una sola nación bajo su mando, pero pocos comparten su sueño. Se urden conjuras, y el rey se ve arrastrado hacia una vorágine de violencia. Solo el amor de Roxana puede aliviar su soledad. Ella le infundirá el valor necesario para llegar a la India misteriosa y luego la fuerza para buscar el camino de retorno. It took me forever to finish this book. When I first started reading this series I thought it was promising, but now at the end I think the author should have stuck to history (his forte) and left the romance with those who can really turn actions into epics... But I'll give the author one thing the epilogue of the series was really touching. This book is the third in a trilogy of stories using the life of Alexander the Great as a base. Given that Alexander is one of the most intereting and compelling figures in ancient history, I would have expected more. Whether the problem is with the original narrative or with the translation into English, the writing is choppy, and the character development is nonexistent. Not recommended. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Alexander's epic quest continues into the heart of Asia and on towards the mystery of India. The Macedonian Army march ever onward in search of glory, crushing resistance at every turn. The culture and beauty of Babylon is quickly ravaged and the Palace of Persepolis burnt to ashes and cinder. An empire is destroyed and a new and bloody era begins. But there are other things on Alexander's mind. An ambitious project to unite the peoples of the empire under one homeland, begins to obsess him. There are rebellions and bloodshed, but the curious beauty of Queen Roxanna gives Alexander the strength to fulfil his destiny... This is a truly compelling, romantic and exciting book, and a fitting conclusion to the bestselling Alexander trilogy. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
