The soldiers are Roman legionaries. And their quarry is a band of pirates who dared to kidnap Julius Caesar for ransom. Now, as Caesar exacts his revenge and builds a legend far from Rome, his friend Marcus Brutus is fighting battles of another sort, rising to power in the wake of the assassination of a dictator. Once Brutus and Caesar were as close as brothers, devoted to the same ideals and attracted to the same forbidden woman. Now they will be united again by a shock wave from the north, where a gladiator named Spartacus is building an army of seventy thousand slaves--to fight a cataclysmic battle against Rome itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFilled with unforgettable images--from the death throes of a king to the birth of Caesar's child, from the bloody battlefields of Greece to the silent passion of lovers--\u003ci\u003eEmperor: The Death of Kings\u003c\/i\u003e is an astounding work, an extraordinary blend of vibrant history and thrilling fiction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAncient Rome comes to vivid life in Conn Iggulden's Emperor series: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE GATES OF ROME - THE DEATH OF KINGS - THE FIELD OF SWORDS - THE GODS OF WAR - THE BLOOD OF GODS\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eConn Iggulden is the author of three novels about Genghis Khan, as well as the Emperor novels, all of which are available in hardcover and in paperback from Dell.
