About this listen

 The ultimate historical adventure novel: the life of Alexander the Great in a single, epic volume.

To many he was a god. To others he was a monster. The truth is even more extraordinary.

As 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.

Narrated 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.

as always great work by Christian Cameron and the narration was superb with a wonderful array of character voices.

Great

An engrossing listen, with plenty to encourage deeper dives into the history outside of the book. p.s please Audible editors, please insert a few more seconds of silence after the last sentence!

This is a long read - but worth every minute. It's an account by Ptolemy, companion and a successor to Alexander. The book is compelling lyrics written, the characterisations are good and it presents a particular and convincing account of Alexander's and campaigns. I've seen some reviews complain about the amount of detail in the battle scenes, but I think that is a matter of taste; I enjoyed it. The amount of research into the period which lies underneath this writing is enormous. For me, this ranks alongside some of the best historical fiction I have read. And the narration of this audio book is excellent - always a bonus when so much of the narration in audiobooks is so poor.

Simply magnificent

The worst thing about reading or listening to a Christian Cameron book, is the bit where you figure out that it is going to end soon because they are all such fantastic novels and stories.

This story was ridiculously gripping and it went on for 40 hours it has kept me going for days and days and days. Peter Mobile and Christine Cameron make a fantastic pairing.

This book, it’s so good, the way it brings you through from Alexander’s childhood, with Tolemy’s view..... and the action, and the heroism,& the death and sorrow but then more huge battles!! What a book!!! 👌🏻

What a listen!! Do it.
