Continuing the epic saga of Alexander the Great, Alexander: The Sands of Ammon brilliantly describes Alexander's quest to conquer Asia, the limitless domain ruled by the Great King of the Persians. In a seemingly impossible venture, Alexander and his men storm Persian fortresses and harbours, crippling King Darius' domain of land and sea. Even the legendary Halicarnassus is defeated by the Macedonian armies. Ruthlessly, Alexander's war machine moves ever onward taking him up into the snow-covered Anatolian highlands. But there is danger ahead. Despite the defeat of Darius, the Island City of Tyre and the Towers of Gaza prove to be formidable obstacles.

One that will change his already amazing life.… (plus d'informations)
La conquista de Asia es la siguiente hazaña que se propone Alejandro. En Anatolia, corta el nudo gordiano; dicen que quien lo deshaga dominará el confín del mundo. Finalmente, él y sus hombres derrotan al poderoso Darío, rey de los persas. Así, las tropas victoriosas de Alejandro avanzan hasta Egipto, donde el oráculo de Amón le revela su origen divino, su destino de gloria inmortal.
I didn't find this title as thrilling as the previous one. This secund volume of Alexander's series follows the main character through his conquering campaign of the Persian territory. I thought the narration of the battles were really boring, and although the historical background keeps the story real there are times that the fiction is forgotten and the book becomes a documentary about the facts of Alexander's life. I was hoping to get a mixture of both facts and fantasy so I got I little disappointed. ( )
El libro ayuda a acercarse un poco a la historia de Alejandro Magno, pero el autor pasa muy por encima los momentos de las batallas y esto es un gran desperdicio ya que se entiende que muchos generales de la antigua Roma se basaron en las estrategias bélicas utilizadas por Alejandro.
Siento que quiere entrar a dar todos los datos "conocidos" de la historia de Alejandro pero no profundiza lo suficiente. ( )

From the top of the hill Alexander turned towards the beach and beheld a scene that was almost an identical repetition of one that had been played out a thousand years earlier.

Alexander nodded gravely, and while Eumenes walked away he turned once more to the infinity of the sky and the desert, and cried in silence.
