. THE BESTSELLING EPIC OF THE GLORY AND THE GRANDEUR INTRIGUES AND PASSIONS OF ANCIENT GREECE...AND THE WARRIOR KING WHOSE CONQUESTS BUILT AN ETERNAL LEGEND. ALEXANDER "Volume II: " THE SANDS OF AMMON

A thousand years after Agamemnon fought the Trojan War. Alexander, the king of Macedonia and descendant of Achilles, follows in the footsteps of Greek legend . He has gathered a mighty force to liberate the Greek cities of Asia -- from legendary Sardis and Miletus to Halicarnassus. But vengeance is just one of Alexander's ambitions.

Great oracles and loyal followers claim Alexander is more than mortal -- a powerful warrior, and insatiable scholar, a political genius. Yet, in battle after battle, one man blocks his way. Memnon of Rhodes, a Greek-born mercenary chosen by the Persian Great King to lead his vast army, is a cunning strategist who challenged Alexander's claim to the title of Lord of Asia. In Memnon, Alexander confronts an enemy who inspires his admiration. And in Memnon's wife, Barsine, he finds a woman who captures his heart. But neither bravery nor love can stem the tide of Alexander's destiny. For with Persia defeated, Alexander's thoughts turn to Egypt and beyond....

Critique Out Of Books The Sands of Ammon (Alexandros #2)
Alexander has moved into Asia and his mythic stories multiply. Manfredi describes with undeniable zeal of the elevation of a young warrior king to become a God. Truly an epic read.

This one was much better than the first. It had more action, it and many more interesting events. I especially enjoyed the part where he untied the knot in King Midas's chariot. I loved picturing him in Achilles Armor. The fight against Darius was well drafted and the bit with his leg where he went right into the heat of the battle was really well done. Memnon made an excellent character focus in this novel. I just think it was much better than the first, and now I am ready to move onto the

It was a really enjoyable and interesting book to read and it seamlessly follows the first book interest little confusion. However... the one thing I found was that, though I loved reading it, I often found that I had trouble recalling what had actually happened in previous chapters, just because so much is going on in this book.

The greatest character in history photographed magnificently by Valerio Massimo Manfredi. In my opinion, this writer is a genius. He is an archaeologist and also a professor like Indiana Jones. Between the 1970s and the 1980s, he has undertaken the "Anabasis" expeditions for the reconstruction of the itinerary of the Ten Thousand's retreat. This makes his historical books look like even more interesting as the great novels whose development is unknown. Nobody is able to present the story like

a good historical read

Rather good! Somehow it seemed a "light" treatment of some pretty heavy history -- something about the way the people talked, maybe. But I got a good sense of what happened and why and how, and this is a period of Alexander's life that I don't know well.

The middle novel of any trilogy tends to be the most unsatisfactory of the lot, and this seems to be the case with the Sands of Ammon; the 2nd novel in Manfredi's Alexander series. The pacing of the novel is at times very uneven where a considerable portion of the story is devoted to character development only to be resolved in a fairly brisk manner. On the other hand, an aspect where the novel handles particularly well is the descriptions of the battles and the battle tactics employed which
