Flood Tide: An Epic Novel of the Greek Invasion of Persia - Paperback
by Alexander Geiger (Author)
Emperor Darius of Persia, king of kings, lord of many, Ahura Mazda's representative on Earth and keeper of his flame, commands the greatest army the world has ever seen. But can he hold back the tide of history?
Barsine, a beautiful, resourceful, spunky young woman held hostage in Darius's harem, plots her flight to freedom. But can she escape the bonds of misogyny? Alexander (not yet known as Great) - young, presumptuous, and preternaturally self-confident - leads his ragtag band of Greek warriors on a suicide campaign. He's convinced he's riding the torrent of destiny. But is his faith sufficient to save their souls? Ptolemaios, a mysterious traveler marooned out of place and time, wants to go home. But first, he must navigate the treacherous shoals of duty, loyalty, and the Prime Directive. Strap on your life preservers and dive into the maelstrom of Flood Tide, the next installment of the acclaimed Ptolemaios Saga. Thrill to epic struggles, unexpected reversals, fateful encounters, and unforgettable sights as Alexander leads the pan-Hellenic army in his quest to liberate Ionia, take the Levant, and perhaps even conquer Egypt. The two armies, led personally by their fabled commanders, finally collide at the Battle of Issus. Only one can emerge victorious. Witness the clash of arms; hear the outcry of fighting warriors; smell the blood and excreta of dying men; gaze at a battlefield carpeted in corpses; and peek in on the victors disporting themselves with their spoils. A compelling tale, told with verve, passion, and a healthy dose of humor. And best of all, it's all (mostly) true.Made with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature bestseller exceeds all expectations.
