"In 325 B.C.E., Alexander and his conquering army prepared to return home, after overcoming everything in their path: armies, terrain, climate, all invariably hostile. Some traveled by sea, some along the coastal desert, to consolidate their victory and contemplate the magnitude of their accomplishments. Little did they know that within two years, their beloved king would be dead and their labors seemingly wasted, left only with the scars of combat and slowly fading memories of that glorious adventure in the east," from the publisher's blurb to another Waldemar Heckel title.
