Alexander has come to the galaxy, and catastrophe is at his heels!From the ashes of war torn Terra the inevitable has happened. Since the conquests of Alexander the Great a peaceful galaxy waited for the conqueror who would lead the Terran hordes to the stars-and to war. Powerless, but with macabre fascination, they watch the unending struggle for power on the cosmos bloodiest planet knowing that one day another Alexander would rise. The "Terran Question" echoes through the million year old capital Rome, of which Roma Terra was a failed copy meant to indoctrinate Terrans into a placid mold. For two thousand years the Galactics wait and debate. Now it is too late. Alexander is here, and only the proud Chem have the strength of will to try and stop him. Desperately the Chem seek out Alexander, a man with generations of glory, murder, and strife on his hands. Can the Chem stop him, or will Alexander crush the stagnant Galactic civilizations beneath the weight of his legend? Only Alexander of Terra can say. Or can he?Can it be that the most feared being in the galaxy cannot control his own destiny?Anderson, Christopher is the author of 'Alexander of Terra' with ISBN 9780595098637 and ISBN 0595098630.
