I liked the book enough to buy the hard copy for my library after reading the Kindle version. The young Alexander and the people as well as events that shaped him are portrayed in an interesting way in the book. Loved the author’s Hephaestion. The author has remained true to what we know about Alexa...

Yes, it worked! Thank you, Chris! Planning to spend time studying your labor of love.

In order to go beyond the seeming chauvinism of its main theme and enjoy it, one needs to contextualize the book and the author’s ...

Thank you, Dr. Reames! It is sad that we don’t have a definite Hephaestion. I am thinking about commissioning artistic reconstructions using artificial intelligence (AI) of all eight likenesses of Hephaestion that Andrew Chugg provides in his book titled ‘Alexander’s Lovers.’ This type of commission...
