Book Review: Lion of Macedon
Lion of Macedon by David GemmellMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
As a great lover of Sci-Fi- Fantasy I always found historical fantasy somewhat wanting but Gemmell makes a good show of it overall.

| This second book of historical fiction by Gemmell does not fail to disappoint in action, character development and political intrigue. Somewhat surprisingly Helikaon does not figure prominently until he begins to heal in the latter part of the book, ...more | |
