Description
Who was the man that would become Caesar's lieutenant, Brutus' rival, Cleopatra's lover, and Octavian's enemy?

When his stepfather is executed for his involvement in the Catilinarian conspiracy, Mark Antony and his family are disgraced. His adolescence is marked by scandal and mischief, his love affairs are fleeting, and yet, his ambition is vast.

Antony's path to prosperity leads him to an education in Athens, a campaign for a seat in the Senate, and a position of military command. Undeterred by his baptism of fire on the battlefields of Judaea and Egypt, he climbs the ranks to become the right hand man of Rome's most famous general, Julius Caesar.

The first of an epic new four book series, Caesar's Soldier brings to life the world of one of history's greatest warriors and romantics, as he becomes an integral part of the Roman Republic in its moment of glory and crisis. Perfect for fans of Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell.

About Alex Gough
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. Alex would love to interact with readers, and you can follow him on twitter @romanfiction, like Alex Gough Author on facebook, or visit his website for reviews of roman fiction and articles about Roman history: www.romanfiction.com
