A Choice of Destinies by Melissa Scott

Melissa Scott is one of those underrated scifi writers from the 80s and 90s who I actually really enjoy! This one is an alternate history where Alexander the Great survives and creates an empire that eventually reaches the stars. I was expecting more speculative/alternate history elements, but the bulk of the narrative is more historical fiction that didn't actually happen. My favorite moments were the interludes, and I would totally read a whole book that is set on a spacestation in Alexander's empire.
