Synopsis

It's been more than a year since the cruise ship Queen of the Sea was transported in time and space to the ancient Mediterranean not long after the death of Alexander the Great.

Captain Lars Floden and the other "Ship People" are trying to plant the seeds of modern civilization. It's not an easy task, to put it mildly.

For they have plenty of enemies, too. Cassander is using every foul means available to turn Macedonia and Greece into his own empire. The brutal general Antigonus One-Eye is doing the same in Mesopotamia. And Ptolemy, the cleverest of them all, is expanding his Egyptian realm to the Red Sea.

Things aren't any easier in the colony that passengers from the cruise ship founded on the Caribbean island of Trinidad. President Allen Wiley is trying to build a twenty-first century democratic nation, but the people he has to work with aren't the most suitable for the task.

War, religious strife, assassinations, espionage, poisonings, and other murders—and a fair amount of love, too—all mix together with the Ship People's knowledge from the twenty-first century to form a new weaving of the fates. Hopefully, that will lead to a bright new future. If it doesn't kill everyone first.

Goodreads review by Xerxes on October 23, 2020

I was provided an ARC via Edelwiess, all thoughts are just that, my opinion only. The Macedonian Hazard is a smart novel. I am no historical expert, nor do I claim to be a scientific expert on this matter. This series is more focused on its world-building because it has this: When different eras come......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on May 05, 2021

Have you ever read a sequel and felt like the authors read your review of its predecessor and actually agreed with your criticisms? That's exactly how this book felt for me. I liked the Alexander Inheritance, I thought it had an interesting new take on the Ring of Fire multiverse, but it had issues.......more

Goodreads review by Truls on February 06, 2022

Det är en utmärkt alternativhistoria som både tar upp, och beskriver attityder till, svält, elände, slaveri och ny teknik. Om jag hade kunnat, hade jag velat ha denna bok som kurslitteratur i internationella relationer. Dess exempel är strålande, och förklarar mycket ur både defensiv realism och eng......more
