In the 4th century BC, the Mediterranean and Western Asia
were riven by strife and slaughter, Out of the chaos strode a
warrior who would become one of the great soldiers and statesmen
of his time, who came to symbolize hope, but who is now all but
lost to history.
His name was Memnon of Rhodes.
Through the deathbed recollections of a mysterious woman,
Memnon’s life and deeds unfold with brilliant clarity. His is a
story of triumph and tragedy, of ambition, betrayal and
bloodshed. The story of a brave, passionate and principled
warrior whose fate was sealed when he took a stand against that
most renowned and feared of men: the ruthless, mercurial young
conqueror called Alexander the Great.
Action-packed and painstakingly researched, Scott Oden’s new
novel is historical fiction at its most engrossing and exciting.
