The ultimate historical adventure novel: the life of Alexander the Great in a single, epic volume.
To many he was a god. To others he was a monster. The truth is even more extraordinary.
As a boy, Alexander dreamed of matching the heroic feats of Achilles. At 18 he led the Macedonian cavalry to a stunning victory against the Greeks. By 25 he had crushed the Persians in three monumental battles and was the master of the greatest empire the world had ever seen. Men began to call him a god. But behind the legend was another, more complex story.
Narrated by his boyhood friend Ptolemy, this is the story of Alexander as you have never heard it before: raw, intimate, thrilling - a story of extraordinary daring and unimaginable endurance; of wanton destruction and murderous intrigue - the epic tragedy of a man who aimed to be more than human.

I think what kinda set me off from the story was after Kineas' part of Tyrant ends (if you've listened to it, you know what I mean). I point this out because it's where Alexander turns from benevolent king to insane tyrant. You start to think "when is he gonna die or get killed," but it drags on for the last 5-15 hours of the book, so by the 35 hour mark when the India campaign starts to die down, you're just waiting for it to happen.
One big thing I don't like with Cameron's first person writing is that he has to remind you from time to time that you're listening to someone retell his story to someone else. So, you'll hear Ptolemy point out something in the "present" to make a point about something that happened in the story. To me, its unnecessary, and a bit annoying, but can be comical sometimes. That's why I like when he writes stories in third person perspective, like in Tyrant and Tom Swan.
Overall, it's a great story, and the 40 hour long listening was definitely the credit, it can get drag on out by the end, but the story throughout was consistently great to listen to. And as always, Peter Noble does a fantastic job telling the story.
