I collect Alexander the Great books and this one is nice but I already have it in paperback (I know, I know, hardcovers are nicer!) and I don't want to spend the rest of my days looking for the first two matching books in this trilogy. Anyway, this is a great book and selling it sucks but it needs to be rehomed. This is a hardcover book, just to be clear. It is in good condition, no worries there.
-----
As Funeral Games opens, Alexander the Great lies dying. Around his body gather the generals, the provincial satraps and the royal wives, already competing for the prizes of power and land. Only Bagoas, the Persian boy mourning in the shadows, wants nothing. Tracing the events of the fifteen years following Alexander's death, Funeral Games sees his mighty empire disintegrate, and brings Mary Renault's Alexander trilogy to a dramatic close.
