With prodigious imagination and a commanding knowledge of the history of ancient Rome, Conn Iggulden delivers an exhilarating reading experience in the pages of his Emperor series. Now, in the third and most action-packed Emperor novel to date, we are transported to Caesar's time once more as he and Marcus Brutus lead their legions far beyond the gates of Rome. But the pursuit of glory abroad will store up trouble for them at home, as Caesar's political adversaries grow more powerful in his absence--with one man emerging as his most dangerous rival yet. A clash of armies and egos such as the world had never seen takes center stage in a masterful rendering of one of the most dramatic chapters in the life of one of history's greatest leaders.
