THE BESTSELLING EPIC OF GLORY AND GRANDEUR, INTRIGUES AND PASSIONS OF ANCIENT GREECE...AND THE WARRIOR KING WHOSE CONQUESTS BUILT AN ETERNAL LEGEND. Who bloodied the Star of the Argeads? Who killed my father? Continuing the epic saga of Alexander the Great, The Sands of Ammon brilliantly describes Alexander's quest to conquer Asia, the limitless domain ruled by Darius, the Great King of Persia. 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. In a seemingly impossible venture, the Macedonians storm Anatolian and Persian fortresses and harbours, liberating the Greek cities of Asia, from legendary Sardis and Miletus to Halicarnassus. But the Island City of Tyre and the Towers of Gaza prove to be formidable obstacles. Undeterred, Alexander's war machine surges forth over land and sea to the mysterious land of Ægypt. And there, in the sands, lies the Oracle of Ammon, waiting to reveal an amazing truth to Alexander.
