Book excerpt: Alexander felt triumphant and couldn’t help a slight smile crossing his face. He had outplayed the Strategos and thought about how pleased Nicanos would be, but the Strategos’s next words froze the smile on his face.“You’re assuming I allow you to return, boy.” The Strategos’s smile widened into a feral grin again. This one did touch his eyes, but the humour in it didn’t comfort Alexander. “Maybe I’ll just have you killed right now and then I don’t have any problems.” His eyes bored right through Alexander.
