Thanks. I will try Booktopia or Shearer's (they are offering a tiny discount!) I've never ordered a book from outside the US, so this is going to be a new experience. I hope you don't mind that I posted the link to a yahoo group I belong to - I am sure people will be very interested in this book! Will you post the link in [livejournal.com profile] atgstories? Many people visit that site.

I was wondering: is the entire trilogy told from Hephaistion's POV or only The Lion's Cub? It wasn't clear from the description.

Don't want you getting the wrong idea re POV - this is not a 1st person narrative (blah blah 1st person ickycakes blah*). It is, however, Hephaistion-centric, though he is more protagonist than narrator.

And the trilogy was initially meant to be one book, but then I fed it after midnight and it split into three. So yes, the entire trilogy is Hephaistion's story as much as anything else.

I have been fascinated with Hephaiston since getting into more classical studies (most be a person behind the power thing on my part;). So I love that the book will be "Hephaistion-centric" (squee)

"Initially meant to be one book, but then I fed it after midnight and it split into three." lucky for us ;)
