Alexander's Lost General

by Caitlin Sumner

A female warrior in a time dominated by men, a general in a time ruled by kings. Alexis of Macedon was born with a fire in her spirit that could never be quelled. She grew up at the side of giants, Alexander, Hephaistion, Ptolemy, Cassander. Two would be her brothers, one her lover, and one her greatest enemy.

For twenty-two years they stood together, winning wars, conquering the known world, bringing in a new age. For ten more Alexis fought to hold Alexander's empire, side by side with Ptolemy. She became known as 'The Warrior Queen' or 'Queen of Asia', ruler of the known world after Alexander.

This book is an interesting approach to Alexander the Great's story as experienced by his close female friend. There are passages of real beauty and power in it. I especially liked the description of the entry into India. My only real caveat with the book is that I would have loved a short discussion at the back of the book telling me how much of the material about the protagonist is based on fact and how much was imagined. I believe this is Ms. Sumner's first published novel. I look forward to seeing her future work. I think her writing has real potential.
