Alexander - The Sands of Ammon written by Valerio Massimo Manfredi performed by Derek Jacobi on Audio CD (Abridged)

In a seemingly impossible venture, Alexander and his men storm Persian fortresses and harbours, crippling King Dariuis’s domination of land and sea. Even the legendary Halicarnassus is defeated by the Macedinoan armies. Ruthlessly, Alexander’s war machine moves ever onward taking him up into the snow-covered Anatolian highlands, and ever closer to his destiny. But there is much danger ahead.

Despite the defeat of Darius, the Island City of Tyre and the Towers of Gaza prove to be formidable obstacles. Undeterred, Alexander surges forth over land and sea to the mysterious land of Egypt.

And there, in the sands, lies the Oracle of Ammon, waiting to reveal an amazing truth to Alexander. One that will change his already amazing life.
