Media Reviews
A sweeping, deeply moving epic that takes the reader into the heart of a different time and culture--HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW
[A] great page-turner--ANCIENT WARFARE
The minutiae of military logistics, the mediations in inter-tribe rivalries, and the casual contemporary scene-setting prove unexpectedly engrossing...a sword-slash above the rest of its ilk--IRISH EXAMINER
The battles...are described with enormous verve and power. The ruthless intrigue and politicking that dominate his court are also brilliantly evoked. And, as fate and his own insatiable desire for conquest and glory drive Alexander towards death in Babylon at the age of 32, a genuine sense of an extraordinary personality emerges--SUNDAY TIMES on God of War
Cameron's ability to conjure up what Homer called the battle haze might make the ancient bard proud--GLOBE AND MAIL
