Book excerpt: "The Other Alexander" is the first book in the epic trilogy "The Bow of Heaven." Alexander, a young Greek philosophy student, is wrenched from a life unlived and forced to submit to the will of an empire - as a slave of Rome. To endure this world without choice, to recapture even a shred of the life he might have had, he must use his cunning and wits to gain the trust of one of the most powerful men in the Republic.Yet no matter how high he climbs, or how deeply he falls in love, Alexander's life is still bound to the will of his master. And when that will becomes blinded by revenge, the fates of both owner and owned become slaves to that terrible choice. A choice which will threaten not only the ability of each to survive, but the very life of the empire one has ruled, and the other has been forced to serve.
