Don't miss it."- Los Angeles Times "An absorbing portrait of ancient Roman life and history, well written and full of suspense-even for those who know the ending."- Kirkus Reviews "What Robert Graves did for Claudius, Iggulden now does for the most famous Roman emperor of them all-Julius Caesar." -William Bernhardt, author of Criminal Intent, "Conn Iggulden is a grand storyteller...[he keeps] adults turning pages like enthralled kids."-USA Today "Brilliant."-Bernard Cornwell "Iggulden knows that history derives from 'story'.

It begins with hints of a mystery and continues as a galvanizing historical thriller. Words like 'brilliant,' 'sumptuous' and 'enchanting' jostle to be used but scarcely convey the way Iggulden brings the tale to life, or the compelling depictions of battle, treachery, and everyday detail in a precarious world vividly re-created.... Exhilarating." -- Los Angeles Times "Dramatic historical fiction to keep adults turning pages like enthralled kids. Iggulden is a grand storyteller. . . . A spirited, entertaining read." -- USA Today "What a find . . . A breathtaking journey through ancient Rome . . . Emperor combines the fantasy of Harry Potter with the historical details of John Jakes. Books don't get better than this." -- Contra Costa Times "People who are interested in history . . . will certainly find this novel engrossing." -- Albuquerque Journal "He excels at describing battle scenes both small-scale and epic." -- The Seattle Times "Utterly marvelous . . . Historical fiction of the highest order. Solid research and a real knack for character development bring Julius Caesar to life in a truly magical, electrifying way." -- Toronto Telegram "An intensely readable story." -- Calgary Sun "Historical fiction at its best . . . The Gates of Rome will keep you on the edge of your seat!" -- Aromas Tri-County News "I loved it. It is one of the best historical novels I have read. . . . Iggulden has the skills of a bestseller writer." -- Historical Novels Review, "An absorbing portrait of ancient Roman life and history, well written and full of suspense-even for those who know the ending."-Kirkus Reviews From the Hardcover edition.

Synopsis
A "brilliant" ( Los Angeles Times ) novel of ancient Rome--a realm of tyrants and slaves, of dark intrigues and seething passions--and the early years of Julius Caesar, the man who would become the most powerful ruler on Earth "An absorbing portrait of ancient Roman life and history, well written and full of suspense--even for those who know the ending."-- Kirkus Reviews In a city of grandeur and decadence, beauty, and bloodshed, two boys, best friends, dream of glory in service of the mightiest empire the world has ever known. One is the son of a senator. The other is a bastard child. As young Gaius and Marcus grow to manhood, they are trained in the art of combat--under the tutelage of one of Rome's most fearsome gladiators. For Marcus, a bloody campaign in Greece will become a young soldier's proving ground. For Gaius, the equally deadly infighting of the Roman Senate will be the battlefield where he hones his courage and skill. And for both, the love of an extraordinary slave girl will be an honor each will covet but only one will win. But as Rome is thrust into the grip of bitter conflict, as every Roman prepares to take sides in the coming battle, Gaius and Marcus's friendship will be put to the ultimate test. . . . With Emperor: The Gates of Rome, Conn Iggulden presents a grand romantic tale of coming-of-age in the Roman Empire and a vibrant portrait of the early years of a man who would become one of the most influential rulers in ancient history: Julius Caesar.
