Summary
The third installment in a huge， bloody， and brutal new series from Robert Fabbri， set after the death of Alexander the Great。
Who will win the fight to control the largest empire the world has ever seen？ Let the battles begin。。。
The cause of Alexander the Great's sudden death is no longer in doubt - it was murder。 But by whom？ As his former followers struggle for power， the bonds of family， friendship， and political loyalties are tested to the limit。 As is the strength of the formidable empire that Alexander had wrought。 Never before has the Western world seen such turmoil， such a threat to civilization。
As battles rage， armies， cities， and thousands of lives are destroyed by the ruthless scheming of those who would be King。 Or Queen。 Could a marriage be the one thing to bring the broken strands of the empire back together， preventing years of further warfare？ Will a woman succeed where no man can？

This is a solid continuation of the series though for established readers there is little new: the characters continue on in their established patterns though of course it remains to be seen how exactly each of them meet their end。 As the events depicted are history （even if not very popular history）， I don’t think that “spoilers” in general terms apply so some of the things mentioned below refer to events which happen in the book and are， perhaps， unexpected。My favourites in the series have bee This is a solid continuation of the series though for established readers there is little new: the characters continue on in their established patterns though of course it remains to be seen how exactly each of them meet their end。 As the events depicted are history （even if not very popular history）， I don’t think that “spoilers” in general terms apply so some of the things mentioned below refer to events which happen in the book and are， perhaps， unexpected。My favourites in the series have been Ptolemaios and Eumenes。 For Eumenes， this volume is fatal。 Yet， the manner of his perishing is well put together—though some of the specific details about the battle which 。 Regrettably， few of the other characters have grown on me as much and those who I expected to like–primarily Seleukos–haven’t really displayed themselves as very interesting people。 In general， it looks as if Mr Fabbri needs controversy—Eumenes’ Greek heritage or Olympias’ rage against the world—to make characters interesting。 Antigonos， possibly the most straightforward person in the books with his attitude of a frontal assault against everything， almost never has a particularly interesting chapter。Ptolemaios barely features in this book though the author is clearly setting him up for future conquests。 This is a pity because， aside from Eumenes， Ptolemaios was one of the few who seemed to think actions through （in Mr Fabbri’s version） instead of charging in。 A little contrast to this is provided by Thessalonike who gets her own POV chapters towards the end of this book; it seems however that with Thessalonike the author has deviated most from historical knowledge。 I don’t think this is a big problem given the afterword describes what the author knows and where he has deviated， as well as how he’s deviated， but it’s still a choice—without which the plot could have been more interesting， it looks like。Overall， I enjoy this as I enjoyed the prior volumes in this series but possibly because there’s so little available on the Diadochi。 Nevertheless， the book was amusing！ This review was originally posted on my blog。 。。。more
