Alex, Approximately
£7.69
From the bestselling author of Night Owls comes a story of summer, first love & hidden identities... Bailey Mink Rydell has met the boy of her dreams. They share a love of films & talk all day

When Bailey moves to sunny California to live with her dad, who happens to live in the same town as Alex, she decides to track him down.

Alexander
£9.59
To many he was a god. To others he was a monster. The truth is even more extraordinary. As a boy, Alexander dreamed of matching the heroic feats of Achilles. At eighteen he led the Macedonian cavalry to a stunning victory against the Greeks. By twenty-five he had crushed the Persians in three monumental battles & was the master of the greatest empire the world had ever seen. Men began to call him a god. But behind the legend was another, more complex story. Narrated by his boyhood friend Ptolemy, this is the story of Alexander as you have never heard it before: raw, intimate, thrilling
- a story of extraordinary daring & unimaginable endurance; of wanton destruction & murderous intrigue
- the epic tragedy of a man who aimed to be more than human.

Alexander
£7.89
Continuing the epic saga of Alexander the Great, Alexander: The Sands of Ammon brilliantly describes Alexander's quest to conquer Asia, the limitless domain ruled by the Great King of the Persians. In a seemingly impossible venture, Alexander & his men storm Persian fortresses & harbours, crippling King Darius' domain of land & sea. Even the legendary Halicarnassus is defeated by the Macedonian armies. Ruthlessly, Alexander's war machine moves ever onward taking him up into the snow-covered Anatolian highlands. But there is danger ahead. Despite the defeat of Darius, the Island City of Tyre & the Towers of Gaza prove to be formidable obstacles. Undeterred, Alexander surges forth over land & sea to the mysterious land of Egypt. & there, in the sands, lies the Oracle of Ammon, waiting to reveal an amazing truth to Alexander. One that will change his already amazing life. ...

Who could have been born to conquer the world other than a god? Mesmeric beauty, consuming desires, an insatiable hunger. Then premature death. This is the story of a boy, born to a great king
- Philip of Macedon
- & his sensuous queen, Olympias. It tells of the stern discipline of Philip & the wild passions of Olympias, & how, together, they formed Alexander, a young man of immense, unfathomable potential, capable of subjugating the known world to his power, & thought of by his contemporaries as a god. Alexander's swift ascent to manhood, as a protege of Aristotle & close friend of Ptolemy & Hephiaston, & the start of his great adventure to conquer the civilised world is recounted in this awe-inspiring novel. This is a wonderful evocation of the far-off & fascinating civilisation of ancient Greece, revealed in vibrant tones & scholarly detail.
