Reader reviews for Funeral Games: A Novel of Alexander the Great

From the publisher

"Renault's best historical novel yet.... Every detail has solid historical testimony to support it."-New York Review of Books

After Alexander's death in 323 B.C .his only direct heirs were two unborn sons and a simpleton half-brother. Every long-simmering faction exploded into the vacuum of power. Wives, distant relatives, and generals all vied for the loyalty of the increasingly undisciplined Macedonian army. Most failed and were killed in the attempt. For no one possessed the leadership to keep the great empire from crumbling. But Alexander's legend endured to spread into worlds he had seen only in dreams.
