Tras la victoria en la batalla de Gránico, Alejandro Magno entra en Efeso con el propósito de someter y pacificar la ciudad cuanto antes, pero no tarda en tener que enfrentarse a una serie de misteriosos asesinatos. Será sin embargo Telamón quien emprenderá una sagaz investigación que permitirá al lector conocer los entresijos de la sociedad de Efeso, las pugnas políticas que en ella se desencadenaron y las extrañas alianzas que se sellaron. El detallado conocimiento de la época, el empleo de citas literarias de clásicos griegos y la perfecta caracterización de personajes marcan una notable diferencia cualitativa entre esta serie y las obras anteriores de Doherty. Al entrar Alejandro Magno en la ciudad de Efeso, el éxito de su campaña se ve empañado por una serie de misteriosos y violentos asesinatos, obra al parecer de un espía persa. De nuevo Telamón será una pieza clave para esclarecer los acontecimientos, y la naturaleza misma de Alejandro Magno, su talento como histrión, su sagacidad y sus inesperados cambios de humor se convierten en el mayor obstáculo para resolver el caso. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieTelamon Trilogy (2)
Alexander the Great faces the challenge of the Persian 'Centaur' It is now 334 AD, and Alexander has smashed the Persian armies at the battle of the Granicus and is roaming the Western Persian Empire like a hungry predator, living up to his nickname of 'the Wolf of Macedon'. Arriving in one of his prizes, the great city of Ephesus, the success of his campaign is threatened by a series of violent murders brought about by a high-ranking Persian spy known only as 'the Centaur'. Worse, one of Alexander's old tutors, Leonidas, is found floating face down in a stagnant pond at the House of Medusa - and this doesn't look like an accident, since the House of Medusa is linked with a guild of assassins who formerly flourished in Ephesus. So once again Alexander's friend and physician, Telamon, must set about unravelling this swirling mass of blood-strewn mysteries, this time working hand in hand with the king's eerie Master of Secrets Aristander. As always one of the biggest obstacles is the volatile and unpredictable nature of Alexander himself, a consummate actor whose lust for power and glory matches the carnage and intrigue that dog his footsteps like the Furies themselves.
