Story
The vast and deadly conflict between Alexander the Great's former generals as they battle for control of his empire has reached a tense stalemate. No one seems able to strike the decisive blow. But with everything in the balance, a secret emerges: hidden in the remote mountains is a young man who could change everything: Herakles, the son of Alexander. Whoever aspires to Alexander's mantle must now control his one legitimate heir - or destroy him - and a war being played across the known world is set for its final, bloody conclusion.

Meet the greatest Greek general you've never heard of: Philopoemen. In his day, a leader as skilled and as dangerous as Hannibal: a ferocious fighter, a superb general, and credited as the inventor of modern 'special operations'. More importantly, he was a brilliant political leader. He commanded Greek forces at the turn of the third century BC, when mighty Rome, fresh from the destruction of Carthage, and Imperial Macedon, the greatest power of the day, chose Greece as their battlefield.

A vibrant and powerful epic set against an alternate Bronze Age, this tale of gods, men and monsters, conspiracy and war, is a rich, compelling and original tale from a master of the historical and fantasy genres. The people caught up in toils of the gods are merely trying to survive. Victims of vicious whims, trapped by their circumstances or pushed beyond what the mortal frame can bear, a handful of god-touched mortals—a scribe, a warlord, a dancer and a child - are about to be brought together in a conspiracy of their own.

Far from being a peaceful northern enclave, Britannia is a seething mass of bitter rebels and unlikely alliances against the common enemy. Corruption amongst greedy officials diverts resources from the locals who need them. For the military, it's a never-ending fight to maintain a fragile peace.

Publisher's Summary
This novel in the scintillating Tyrant series brings the epic siege of Rhodes in 306 BC to spectacular life.
The death of Alexander the Great was the signal to begin the greatest war in human history - a war that swept like a firestorm from one end of the known world to the other, as his former generals fought like jackals to make his vast empire their own.
By 305 BC, the most powerful players in this deadly game faced each other across the Mediterranean: Ptolemy, the master of Egypt, and Antigonus One-Eye, master of Asia. And between them, the island of Rhodes, a strategic fortress city that neither could afford to cede to the enemy.
But trapped in the city was one man with the courage and determination to save it from destruction. A man who, surrounded by his closest friends and the woman he loved, simply could not afford to fail.
A man called Satyrus.

Good Third Installment
I really liked this book, especially because of the main part of the book being the siege. Cameron always does a good job when it comes to the imagery of sieges: the tactics, the suspense, the different buildup of the sides, and playing out each action in great detail. This is also when the Antigonids become the main antagonists of the series. Antigonus One Eye and Demetrious are definitely interesting, and I do like Demetrious as a character, but they're kind of underwhelming when compared to Heron and his struggle to kill the twins off while also trying to control the Euxine.
Unfortunately though, Melita does virtually nothing in this book. In the beginning of the book, she goes east to Hyrkania because some unknown faction from the far east raids a farm, and the raiders are hyped up to be some sort of major power in the east of the Caspian. But then halfway through the siege in the book (about like 8 or 9 hours left), there's one small chapter that essentially wraps up her conflict. Then by the next chapter or two, Melita and a portion of the asagetae are brought to Rhodes.
One of the downfalls in Cameron's writing in this book is trying to writing from different perspectives, especially if the other perspective doesn't really have any arcing direction. It just seems as if he adds in random bits here and there, to pad out Melita's part without completely forgetting about her as a character. To be honest, he could've just cut all the Melita stuff out from the beginning of the book to when she comes in with the reinforcements and nothing would have changed.

Simply Wonderful
I have enjoyed this series so very much. Great writing a gripping storyline throughout the series. Peter Noble is a treasure I wonder how he can do what he does, it’s magic I think. He has a way of switching from male to female voicing that is so convincing it’s just remarkable. I know I will listen to this more than once. I love the quick little barb about Alexander the Great very near the end perfect in my view. Made me laugh hard and think hard.
I look forward to more from this series. Please.

each review is for a different book, but this is not so christian Cameron, historical fiction is boys own action and since the 60s I've been fascinated by costume and weaponry and sail ships, hornblower, but the sea battle off Cyprus left me breathless the writing, and narration, implacable. then the heroism of a siege entwined with a myriad of emotions. simply outstanding
