Taxiles: Born for Battle

What readers say: I greatly enjoyed the historical background and the experiences of the protagonist. I look forward to the continuation!

"Commander, I come bearing sad news. Your brother has fallen." At that moment, Hermes walked across the room... It is the year 100BC and the Greeks rule over parts of India and the Middle East as far as present-day Afghanistan and Pakistan. But neighboring tribes and the Romans, the new enemy from the West, have been conquering important trading areas with much violence and bloodshed. Lysander, the son of the Greek commander in the Indo-Bactrian town Taxila, has lost his father in an ambush. Now he must leave his homeland and protected childhood to join his hard-bitten uncle as a recruit in the Hindu Kush. Phillip, a veteran soldier from Alexandria, is the only one accompanying him. Riding his last horse, Lysander begins a journey into the unknown.
