Now in paperback, this is the long-awaited conclusion to the "Cicero" trilogy, from the bestselling author of "Fatherland, An Officer & A Spy, Enigma, The Ghost" and many others. 'I haven't enjoyed Roman history more since Robert Graves's "I Claudius"' Anthony Horowitz, "Guardian Book Of The Year"
There was a time when Cicero held Caesar's life in the palm of his hand. But now Caesar is the dominant figure and Cicero's life is in ruins. Cicero's comeback requires wit, skill and courage. And for a brief and glorious period, the legendary orator is once more the supreme senator in Rome. But politics is never static.
