"The story of how Alexander the Great conquered the world - first crushing Greek resistance to Macedonian rule, then destroying the Persian Empire in three monumental battles, before marching into the unknown and final victory in India - is a truly epic tale that has mesmerised countless generations of listeners. He crammed more adventure into his thirty-three years than any other human being before or since, and now for the first time a novelist will tell the tale in a single suitably epic volume. The combination of Alexander's life story and Christian Cameron's unrivalled skills as an historian and storyteller will ensure that this will not only be the definitive version for many years to come, but also one of the most exciting historical epics ever written."
I am a big fan of Christian Cameron's "Classical Greek World" novels - there are two duologies so far in the Tyrant series of which I reviewed (the fourth novel and second dealing with the children of Kineas who is the main hero of the first two books) and two novels in the Long War series that takes place some 150-200 years earlier and feature Arimnestos of Plataea, hero of Marathon and ancestor of Kineas and his twins, Satyrus and Melitta.
So while expecting the fifth Tyrant novel (which should have been published in Jan/Feb) and the third Arimnestos one (due in the summer), I was a bit disappointed that Mr. Cameron published God of War which supposedly tells (again and after a ton of similar novels and a few popular movies) the story of Alexander.
However I read a review and realized that actually God of War is told by Ptolemy, king of Egypt and important secondary character of the Tyrant series to Satyrus about the time when the twins found refuge in Alexandria and I realized that actually this book ties in perfectly with the Tyrant series, so of course it became an asap and I got and read it immediately despite its almost 800 pages.
Kineas is quite important in the book though indeed the novel focuses on Ptolemy's life from childhood till the death of Alexander in Babylon in 323. As "legal" son of the richest Macedonian noble and rumoured that he was actually Philip's illegitimate son, so Alexander's step brother, Ptolemy is raised with the prince and becomes one of his principal advisers and later a main general of his armies, though he never attains the influence of Alexander's intimate friend .
Nicknamed "farm boy" for his forthrightness and occasional lack of sophistication, Ptolemy both loves and later almost worships Alexander, while also tries to keep him grounded. If Hephaestion told Alexander what he liked to hear, Ptolemy told him what he needed to hear. The unquestionable loyalty he showed during their early years and later during the difficult years of Alexander's marginalization by his father, made Ptolemy the only possible person who could tell hard truths to the increasingly "god like" king.
That made Ptolemy less than popular on occasion with the king, but his immense wealth and later his relationship with Thais, famous Athenian hetaira and unofficial spy-mistress of the Macedonians, his friendship with Kineas, the Athenian nobleman and cavalry commander and his camaraderie with his soldiers and officers compensated for that, though of course after the Persian conquest it became more and more dangerous to offer even the slightest hint of dissent to Alexander as numerous Macedonian noblemen and generals paid with their lives for that.
"‘What’s he thinking of?’ I asked Thaïs, who rode between me and Kineas.
Thaïs smiled. ‘He isn’t going to lay siege to it,’ she said. ‘He’s going to make love to it.’
She was at her most witty when she was enigmatic. So I smiled at her and kept my scouts moving."
So the novel spans about 20 years, starting with their early teen years at Pella and their study under Aristotle, though the bulk of it deals with Alexander's ascension and then his Persian conquest, while his last seven years after the burning of Persepolis in 330 are mostly summarized in the last hundred fifty or so of pages which are vignette like.
As this is a Christian Cameron novel, the world building is exceptional and the description of army life, marches and supplies is as exciting and thorough as the description of battles and sieges. While Alexander, "the God of War" is always the main focus of the big picture, Ptolemy and Thais are the main characters and their relationship from their first meeting in Athens to their quasi-marriage and lifelong partnership is the keystone of the novel and what raises this book above the many offerings on its subject.
As I tend to believe that the author's take on Alexander is as close to reality as it can be done, 2300+ years later and few original sources beyond the brute facts - details of which are still unknown and/or controversial - the novel worked very well from this point of view.
"I didn’t think he was insane – if he had ever been sane by the standards of normal men, he still was. But the enormous wound he’d taken and the drugs Philip must have put into him to keep him on his feet – by Apollo’s bow, I still look for any excuse to cover him. He ordered almost fifty thousand men and women killed between Tyre and Gaza, and for nothing. Everyone else had already submitted. There was no example to be made. And the killing of Batis went clean against his code – except that more and more frequently, he seemed to be set on the annihilation of all resistance, rather than the honourable combat and complex warrior friendships of the Iliad.It was a paradox – the kind on which Aristotle thrived – that Alexander seemed to want to create the world of the Iliad – a world of near-eternal war and heroism – and yet seemed to want to destroy all of his opponents so that they could not continue the struggle."
is a and as a standalone page turner with so much great stuff and a modern retelling of an epic story that has stood as a model for such for all these 23 centuries, I think that anyone who loves epics should give it a try.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ANALYSIS: Karen Azinger first came to my notelast year with her debut The carburet of ironQueen. In the penultimate months of last year, I was alerted to her new briefhistoryassemblageThe Assassin’s Tear which seemed like a exactmix. When the authorrequested a review, I quicklyagreed as I had enjoyed perusalher debut sacrificeand now I wanted to see how she would do with shorter vergeof fiction. The assemblageopens up with a exactprefatorymemorandumin which Karen does a minutepiece of workof effectivethe reader about the background of each story. I enjoyed intelligenthow one of the stories was inspired by a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a use a fan uponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponuponor that another one was inspired by the accountpassageand finallyone which spanned the use of three cards and the images they carried. Karen Azinger enthusiastically cracks freeabout each historyand therefore it fires up the reader for the forthcoming stories. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The stories then begin with Prophecy’s twist which is putseveral hundreds of years ahead of the timeline established in the carburet of ironQueen, these events are transverseto perusefor fans of the Silk & carburet of ironscandinavian legendas they relatean occurrencewhich molds much of the sorceryhappening in the saga. However for readers unascertainedto these books, this historywill seem extraordinaryas in it things chancerather speedilyand then the historyhurls along to its disastrousend. The historyhas some exactsurprises putin its trackand this sets the soundfastidiouslyfor the opener. The next historyis the nominalhistoryof the workand is one of the best ones as it focuses on a pilferercalled Dolf who decides to take a beamto the Mordant’s castle. This historyis putaround the same durationas the introductionof the first workThe carburet of ironQueen, however while the first workhad its moments of obscurity, this historyis almost covered by obscuritystretching to the airas well as to the thoughts of the protagonist. This was the best historyof the workfor me as it showcased surprises as well revealed some transversepointers for the realErdhe succession(thought they don’t betokenwell for the heroes in the series). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The third spokenrelationseems to be inspired by Indiana Jones as instructorZebastion Kole is the protagonist who is given a workand he must use his wits as well as the filledexpansionof his apprehensionto help his nation. A pleasantryoral relationwhich agreeablewithout being strikingmuch acts as a lighter defeatto the earlier ones and is one which reminded me a destinyof thrillers by Matthew Reilly. A Man’s World is the next tale, which is a pillarin or from the revelationone and one which is based on an engagingprefacethat is without the nearnessof women. A clusterof miners are the acuteendof concentrationof this tale, and among them Danny & Burt are the protagonists of this story. The historyis about the worldof manand how unyieldingaircan be. The next historyis called Pieces of the Truth and is about durationtravel, while the spokenrelationhas the protagonist Linus going back to fita very weightyscientist. The ending of the historywas a exactwonderand very much enriched this historyfor me. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Snakes and Ladders is the penultimate historythat features various themes such as women’s standingquo and exploring them via instrumentof the urban fancysub-genre. An engagingpartand one, which sets up the next historyThe jehovahPlanet. This historyis the biggest one of the assemblageand is the only one using the first individualperspective. This historyfocuses on religion, human believingsystems and the worldof androids, the authorquite skillfully mines these aspects to bestowthe readers some questions to considerabout. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Overall this was an engaginghistoryassemblagethat encompasses various genre pieces and enough inventivenessto keep the readers immersed in the worlds created. Karen Azinger’s plainreally helps in the setting of each historyand also manages to at handa different temperto each partas well. The only thing that draws a mouthfulof commentfrom these stories is that they are predictable to a certain stepand that perhaps is the chiefdisadvantageabout this collection. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CONCLUSION: Karen Azinger’s briefhistoryassemblageis definitely a advantageousway for readers to get themselves acquainted with her work. Focusing on a broadorderof themes as well as different genres, she manages to clothea certain aggregateof gravitas in each of her stories to make them an engagingprotuberanceto read. Definitely recommended for fans of her debut and for all readers who want to perusean selectingassemblageand reveala new authorin the process. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> |

"Laying hands upon the injured and dying, Avry of Kazan absorbs their wounds and diseases into herself. But rather than being honored for her skills, she is hunted. Healers like Avry are accused of spreading the plague that has decimated the Fifteen Realms, leaving the survivors in a state of chaos.
Stressed and tired from hiding, Avry is abducted by a band of rogues who, shockingly, value her gift above the golden bounty offered for her capture. Their leader, an enigmatic captor-protector with powers of his own, is unequivocal in his demands: Avry must heal a plague-stricken prince—leader of a campaign against her people. As they traverse the daunting Nine Mountains, beset by mercenaries and magical dangers, Avry must decide who is worth healing and what is worth dying for. Because the price of peace may well be her life...".
is the first volume in the new Maria Snyder . Like in her previous very entertaining fantasy trilogies - and - the novel is structured as the first person narration of a youngish but tested through trials etc, so the book is not YA, heroine with special powers. While Avry is certainly different than Yelena or Opal, the overall feel of the novel is absolutely the same and so are its page turning qualities that made me go through the book very fast as I could not put it down. The world building is different though and it is quite intriguing - 15 kinds of magic, magical healers/scientists possibly responsible for the devastation that engulfed it, power brokers with various ambitions and lack of scruples, the mysterious Death and Peace Lilies, etc - and much remains to be explored while the book ends at a good point.If you loved her earlier series, you will love this, if not I do not think this will change your mind either. Fun, compelling and mostly familiar and predictable but with enough "newness" to avoid boring repetition and a highly recommended book of 2011 for me.
I plan to get and read the sequels asap since - as in the other 2 adult series of the author - the voice resonates very well, while the secondary characters - both the "heroes" and the "villains" are intriguing and I expect a few twists and turns as the story progresses.****************************************************************"Having survived Jehal's betrayal, former Queen Zafir is determined to take back control of the kingdom. To that end, she seizes Jehal's wife and son as hostages. Desperate to save his queen and his heir, Jehal makes a tentative peace with the dragons of the north, and prepares to fly against his enemies.
But as politics throw the realms of men into turmoil, a far greater danger threatens. The dragons are awakening from the spells cast upon them, and returning to their native fury. They are out for revenge. And that revenge will be brutal."
is the ending -at least of some of the threads since there will definitely more in the dragons storyline - of the trilogy started in the superb and was followed by the pretty good but more traditional . Like its two predecessors, the novel moves fast and while it ends quite conclusively the general storyline mentioned in the blurb above and dealing with the conflicts and the jockeying for power of the Dragon Kings and Queens, the powerful finale of the novel is also a beginning and hints where the storyline will go next. There are quite a few twists and turns and I kept turning the pages and generally let the novel flow so I finished it fast.What I love about the novel and the series overall is the "take no prisoners" attitude of the author and the fast paced narration; in this book like in The Adamantine Palace, the action is almost breathless and things happen and happen and happen; at 300+ pages I would say the narrative content is equal if not higher than in books twice its size.Now of course this has some drawbacks too since the characters flash and go and while the main ones have clear personalities, others are just place holders, the world seems only sketched at times, but overall the "magic" of suspension of disbelief and immersion in a strange universe works very well and I am in for the duration. One of my highly recommended novels of 2011 as I read it on UK publication last year in May, The Order of the Scales appears next week on February 7 here in the US. Of course I plan to get and read The Black Mausoleum on its UK publication this May/June too! |

General: This is the registerwith the fewest overlap with my preferences as I would commendonly Debris, The darknessCircus and for of learningor learningstyle, The Wife despite my objections to some of its content.
Disagreements: The only other books on the registerI completedwere Mechanique which I found finallyindifferentdespite some largemoments and Low Town which I found just bad. I tried a few others like War, Seed and The uninhabitedof Souls but they did not actfor me though in all cases it was just a substanceof dictionnot matching my try the tasteofso I would commendtaking a look at our (FBC) of some of those and Of essentialfluidand Honey which were among Robert or favorites.
Notable Misses: 2011 was not a largeyear for debuts imho as I found very little to collatewith very vigorousantecedentyears. There was Dancing with Eternity mentioned above and the one greaterpublisher miss from the list, All Men of Genius by Lev Rosen whose non-attendancehere surprises me a little mouthfulas the workshould have ticked all the right boxes for the Locus staff...
