Rome will never be the same again
The empire is at a crisis point. Caesar, Rome's greatest general and conqueror of Gaul, now faces being stripped of his command and dragged back to Italy for prosecution by his enemies.
His former ally, Pompey, has sided with his opponents in the Senate and frustrates all efforts to find peace.
Caesar does the unthinkable. He crosses the Rubicon and marches his army into Italy to invade Rome, with Mark Antony at his side. The empire is thrown into civil war. Antony will either rise to the heights of power, or be executed as a traitor. The die has been cast.
This is the greatest story of Roman history retold from Mark Antony's perspective by a rising star of the genre. Perfect for fans of Conn Iggulden and Ben Kane.
Alex Gough is an author of Roman historical adventures, and has a decades-long interest in Ancient Roman history. His first seriesThe Carbo Chronicles (including Watchmen of Rome, Bandits of Rome and the short story collection, Carbo and the Thief) was the culmination of a lot of research into the underclasses of Ancient Rome. His second series, The Imperial Assassin, is set in the reign of the Severan dynasty, an under-examined period of Roman history. His latest series is based on the larger-than-life character of Mark Antony, the warrior, the commander, the politician and the lover.
