Summary: |
first person one volume novel from the point of view of Callisthenes, written as his "defence" as he awaits being sent back to Greece to be tried.

The story maps Callisthenes' change of stance from almost idolising Alexander, to complete disillusionment with him... Alexander sort of ends up as a baddy... |
