Interpretation Conducive To Books The Ends of the Earth (Alexandros #3)

All his life, Alexander defied the limits the gods gave mortals. That passion overwhelmed cities and armies...and united a vast empire. Alexander was no longer simply King of Macedonia: The Pan-Hellenic League had named him Supreme Leader. Egypt crowned him Pharaoh. And all Persia acknowledged him as Great King. He was a true heir to Achilles and Hercules, a leader who had guided troops to victory beyond the Nile, the Tigris, and the Euphrates. Now, conquering India would place all of Asia in his hands. But his army reached the limit of its endurance, and the cost of triumph had been high -- in blood, betrayal, and tragedy. Alexander lost Barsine, his first beloved; Bucephalus, a steed unequaled; Peritas, his loyal hound; and Hephaestion, the closest companion of his youth. Still he sought the wisdom and might to transform the empire he had claimed into the one of which he dreamed, no longer divided into victors and vanquished, but a unified people under his rule. For Alexander was destined for timeless glory in the domain of heroes and gods -- both in his lifetime and in the realm of eternal legend.

Evaluation Based On Books The Ends of the Earth (Alexandros #3)

This third and final novel in the Alexander trilogy. was not as easy as it seems, not just to write, but also to read. Manfredi did quite a good job of telling the story, using historical facts, and weaving them into as much fiction/speculation about how Alexander died, as much as he could. However, there were too many battles covered, and the material turned rather dry in the middle section, and was a bit of a chore to get through. Up till today, nobody knows how Alexander died. They have not

Last book of 2010!I found this novel just as well written and descriptive as its forerunners, but I must admit the whole besiege, surrender, endless journeying and sex plot was getting tiresome. Despite how thorough the author's researching has been, I do believe that it was a misjudgment on his part to overlook Alexander's relationship with Hephaestion, considering the 'indefatigable' efforts Manfredi went to describe his repetitive sex sessions with his various and docile wives.

This one dragged a bit more than the other two but was still a good ending to the series. I think he did his best work when weaving more of the mythical elements into the story (such as the mother dancing in the glade and winding herself with the snake god book two?) this one lacked that quality in the others, but really you have to read it to get the end of the story and the story as a whole is terribly epic.

The concluding novel to Manfredi's Alexander Trilogy is the biggest in the series which reflects Alexander's growing ambition as he turns his sights on the Persian empire and beyond. Like the first few books, the novel moves at a brisk pace and deals with the struggles that the army endures both from the environment and every varying foes. The author must be commended for the exhaustive effort that has gone into the background research for this book as well as for depicting the events of the

i loved this series. i try to compare it to mary renault series they both talk about the battles of course but the difference i see in them in renaults alexander is more compassionate and she has him more of his love interest being with men than with women, she hardly ever says anything about his wives and there views on roxanne are totally diffrent. the times lines are a little different between the 2 also.in this series i love how it talked about memnon in the second book,i had never really

after reading the three books of this series, i felt like Alexander is actually the real dude. He just became a hero in my life.Before reading this book, I felt like he is just a soldier and a good general. But after completing these books i felt like he is a adventure geek. I can feel why he is called Alexander , the great. I can understand the meaning of 'the great'after his name. Except 2-3 scenes, where I felt that Alexander has done the right thing, I felt for for his character. As a

End .. is fuzzy. And rushed somehow.
