Book Overview
John O'Ryan "is" Orion--more than human, less than a god, cast away on the seas of Time to do battle among the Creators for the future of mankind. Now the eternal warrior finds himself separated from his great love, Anya, and marooned in Macedonia under the reign of Phillip--fighting alongside the young Alexander, and at the mercy of a Queen Olympias who is far more than she seems.

Orion is put back into the thick of world history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Orion and the Conqueror puts our hero Orion back into the thick of world history as a royal guard to Philip of Macendonia, the father of Alexander the Great. As Philip struggles to conquer/unite Greece, Alexander's mother, who is one of the Creators, struggles to ensure the ascension of Alexander to the throne. This is Orion at his best, fighting with swords and knives as he struggles with his personal loyalties versus the desires of the Creators. As Orion's powers develop, he continues to try to find the mystery behind the intentions of The Golden One. A quick fun read, Orion and the Conquerer is definitely worthwhile despite the one shortcoming of Orion's constant whining about finding Anya, the Creator he loves.
Another winner in awesome series!
