Review title: The Lion of Macedon
Product review: Whereas the next book Dark Prince focuses primarily on Alexander this focuses on Parmenion who may have been a Spartan mix blood or just a Thracian mercenary. It follows him from his childhood to his late middle age. This is done with the authors typical style of hack and slash sorcery.Not one of Gemmel's best but not his worst either the author always had a tendency in his longer books to have characters who were formerly a friend of the main character "go bad" for a poorly defined reason that is never fleshed out. Reversely bad characters "go good" for equally poorly defined reasons. He can always be relied on for a good battle scene so consequently its not really noticeable.
