'This may be the greatest tale of the ancient world. Hugely enjoyable' - CONN IGGULDEN

'Excellent . . . scintillating' - THE TIMES

Who will conquer the greatest city in the ancient world?

Alexander the Great's sudden death has left his vast empire in chaos. War rages, cities fall, and the lives of thousands are torn apart as his former generals struggle for a share. Alliances and betrayals are rife, and as one man threatens to gain an advantage, the others will not hesitate to plot his downfall.

The one-eyed brute Antigonos is the most formidable power in the Western world and now has his eye on the jewel of the east: Babylon. As he schemes to seize it before returning to the West, his enemies join forces to stop him, mobilising fleets from Greece to Gaza.

But only one warrior can claim the city.

Babylon is the fourth book in a huge, brutal, and bloodthirsty series about the fight to regain Alexander the Great's empire after his untimely death. Let the battles begin...
