Hi everyone

I have recently been reading a book without the cover and first few pages, the top of each page gives me the title and the chapter name but no Author, can anyone help. It's called Alexander : Child of dreams. It's an alternative history rather than Fantasy, but it's been a really good read and I would recomend it to anyone. The only problem is, is that it's one in three and I live in the sticks and can't find a book shop that can help.

If anyone knows, please let me know, also what do you think?

Thanks:confused:

The author is Valerio Nassimo Manfredi.

I don't think it's alternative history, but historical fiction. What makes you think it is?

By Alexander, I assume you mean Alexander the Great. If so, David Gemmel wrote a two part series, called The Lion of Macedom and the Dark Prince. It was set in ancient Greece, mostly dealing with a Spartan named Parmenon (sp?). Quite good; not as simply hack-and-slash as some of his other works.

It's not alternate history(Alexander did not discover America)

I was a little skeptical when I bought it, an ambitious task to beat Mary Renault's Alexander, but it was done very well. I believe there are three books but I only read the first two.
