Description Julius Caesar is dead, and the lives of two teenaged boys are about to be changed forever. One is Caesar’s 17-year-old nephew, Octavius, whom he has made his heir. The other is Octavius’s closest friend, Agrippa. To claim Octavius’s inheritance, they must fight the giant figures of the Roman Empire – and, against all odds, they win. Octavius becomes the Emperor Augustus. They rule the world together. From his earliest meetings with Julius Caesar, through the epic conflict with Mark Antony and Cleopatra, the great naval battle of Actium and the endless wars to expand the empire. When it comes to power, does friendship exist at all? ‘The king of the page-turning thriller’ i PAPER ‘Harris’s cleverness, judgment and eye for detail are second to none’ SUNDAY TIMES ‘Harris writes with a skill and ingenuity that few other novelists can match’ FINANCIAL TIMES ‘A master of historical fiction’ TLS
