Overview:
The fifth and final instalment of the Emperor series.
Julius Caesar has been assassinated. A nation is in mourning. Revenge will be bloody.
Rome’s great hero Julius Caesar has been brutally murdered by his most trusted allies. While these self-appointed Liberatores seek refuge in the senate, they have underestimated one man: Caesar’s adopted son Octavian, a man whose name will echo through history as Augustus Caesar.
Uniting with his great rival Mark Antony, Octavian will stop at nothing to seek retribution from the traitors and avenge his father’s death. His greatest hatred is reserved for Brutus, Caesar’s childhood friend and greatest ally, now leader of the conspirators.
As the people take to the streets of Rome, the Liberatores must face their fate. Some flee the city; others will not escape mob justice. Not a single one will die a natural death. And the reckoning will come for Brutus on the sweeping battlefield at Philippi.
This is a beautifully written book that starts with the assassination of Julius Caesar by Brutus and the group calling themselves the Liberatores. Mark Anthony soon gives the funeral oration for Caesar inciting riots among the roman citizens, causing fires and the Senate house to burn down. Mark Anthony has the will of Julius Caesar read and finds Octavian is named to inherit most of Caesars property and money. Octavian returns to Rome and joins forces with Mark Anthony. The book moves at a decent pace and has fantastic battle scenes and pulls you into the sight and sounds of ancient Rome.
ENJOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
