So now there are five! The covers for the five books of the Alexander Series of Novellas are complete. A very sneak peek of the next expansion of the Alexander series overall;
1) Alpha; Skander Draco; Skander Draco wakes up in the backstreets of Santo Domingo and does the only thing a 'gringo' with no documentation or papers can do, dives into the underworld to earn his living. After rising to the very top he is convinced there is a step still higher that he can go if he really wants to make a difference. As he rises, attention starts coming his way; some of it best avoided, some of it from a very unexpected quarter as a man dead for over two thousand years brings more faces from his past into a place where they should not be...Who will get to him first?
2) Beta; The Victory of Wolves; Marcos the Spartan, left his homeland and became an exile in order to follow Alexander across the world. In an act of very brutal and highly effective Spartan justice he is brought to Alexander's attention and offered the chance to begin a new chapter in the war. Can this born warrior adapt to the new face of Alexander's war and the Hegemony itself? She tells him of a future so different to any he as ever imagined possible. Maybe it will all boil down to lamb stew and a snake who plans to keep it in his belly?
3) Gamma; Neshaa; Alkemas Neshaa, the Persian foot soldier who joined Alexander at the Great Festival of Susa is used to being the outsider; though not openly hated by his Greek compatriots, he is not truly trusted or welcomed with open arms. How does this paradoxical man; soldier as well as deeply spiritual, living the best he can by his Zororastrian faith rise to command the Dracograth?
Can conversations with the enigmatic Nazerine; Yeshua ben Josua lead him to the solutions his confused soul so badly needs?
4) Delta; The Snake Charmer; Shamshir the Indian, who joined Alexander on the banks of the Indus river following the end of his Indian campaigns; the greatest enigma of them all? Who is he; manipulator and player of games? Seeker of knowledge and adventure? Spymaster and man of intrigue? A man with a deep secret who is just trying to use all of his talents to protect those he loves?
As the campaigns end and the Hegemony is won and rebuilding complete, he vanishes, thought to be dead. In reality he has fled, terrified of what Alexander will do once his secret is out; Shamshir was already three hundred years old when Alexander met him and will live much longer than that...
5) Epsilon; Son of the Dragon; Alexander, the Hegemon, the conquerer of the known world. The founder of the Dracograth and the Kalshodar. The man remade immortal and beloved by the dragon who disappeared for close to five thousand years before mysteriously reappearing somewhere entirely different. Where did Alexander go for all of that time and how did he get back?
Some journeys can take one thousand steps to get where one desires; others just a single thought...
The very much unplanned series of sequel novellas which will answer all of your unanswered questions and solve all of the deepest mysterious brought about by the four preceeding collections. All the loose ends will be tied up and all of the pieces which just did not fit will be explained. Oh come now, did you really think I was being serious? I am far from done yet!
The Victory of Wolves is coming very soon, get ready!
