Robert Harris has achieved something great with this enthralling trilogy about the life of the great Roman statesman, politician, lawyer and defender of the Republic. It is at once gripping, humorous, enlightening and surprisingly modern

On to the shelves.

I prefer his books set in history like Roman times.
On the eve of Marcus Cicero's inauguration as consul of Rome, the grisly death of a boy sends ripples of fear thourgh a city already wracked by civil unrest, crime, and debauchery of every kind. For Cicero, the ill forebodings of this hideous murder only increase his frustrations and the dangers he already faces as Rome's leader: elected by the people but despised by the heads of the two rival camps, the patricians and populists. There is, also a plot to assassinate him, and it will take all his embattled wit, strength, and force of will to stop it and keep Rome from becoming a dictatorship.

This second book in the trilogy was not as good to read as the first but it finishes on a note that promises better reading in the third book.

Release #35 for 2022 ...
