The mantle of king is passed and while his newly-inherited fleet retreats toward home, Xerxes' hatred is cemented toward Athens--and his incentive to build the Persian empire is fueled. Xerxes becomes the king of all countries--the king of Persia, ruler of Zion, and Pharoah of Egypt--and his empire is unlike any the world has ever seen, until . . . The mantle is again passed, the god king dies and Darius III continues as the king of all. But then, from the west, a tiger force strikes in Asia Minor and is on a course for collision with Persian forces. This will be the beginning of the end for Persia and the launch of Alexander the Great's rise to power!","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49542640009489,"sku":"GOR009921296","price":65.7,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49731013050641,"sku":"NGR9781506708829","price":60.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51732319043857,"sku":"CIN150670882XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52604537372945,"sku":"GOR012832217","price":36.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53683552944401,"sku":"CIN150670882XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/150670882X.jpg?v=1750860106","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/products\/xerxes-book-frank-miller-9781506708829","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
