Critics Review
Incomparable … Engrossing … Breathtakingly detailed … McCullough has triumphed again
Incomparable … Engrossing … Breathtakingly detailed … McCullough has triumphed again * Chicago Tribune *
Hail, Colleen McCullough! She once again gives Caesar his due … Caesar reveals Julius Caesar and the author at the height of their powers … With all its Machiavellian machinations and its eye for entertaining history, McCullough latest novel merits the allegiance of her legions of fans * Columbus Dispatch *
A thoroughly Romanized epic novel … Her version of history marches through the tumultuous years from 54 to 48 B.C. withoutmissing any of the significant military and political landscape … McCullough also fleshes out the marbled-over characters of Pompey, Cato, Cicero, Brutus, Mark Anthony and others as they try to deal with the near-infallible Caesar. And Caesar himself … [is] brilliant, ambitious, ruthless and fascinating * The New York Times Book Review *
