This fourth installment of Geiger’s Ptolemaios Saga pits Persian emperor Darius III against Alexander the Great, as the latter king becomes increasingly intoxicated by liquor and power in his quest to rule the greatest empire on Earth. But what is the price of immortality? Immortal Alexandros (Ptolemaios Publishing) explores these themes and more as Alexander sits on the precipice of life and death.
