Bol Partner The Roman Republic is in its death throes. Rome is torn by violence, conspiracy and political intrigue. As the son of a senator whose father is condemned to die by the dictator Sulla, the young Lucius Cotta and his family are also in mortal danger and are forced to flee the city.Years later, Lucius sets down the story of his life. We witness the horror of Sulla's proscriptions, travel to Asia and Spain with the legions, and are plunged into the thick of Roman political infighting, as the Republic begins to splinter and collapse under the weight of powerful generals such as Pompeius, Crassus and Julius Caesar himself.In Gaul, Caesar wages a savage campaign to bring that country under the yoke of Rome. Lucius, now a veteran of the legions, is swept along by the exhilaration of serving perhaps the most brilliant general and tactician the world has ever known. He is aware that Caesar is an unstoppable force, and that he will achieve, by whatever means necessary, the destiny to which he believes he was born: to be the first man in Rome.But Lucius knows that such a victory will come at a price, and the price he ends up paying nearly brings him to suicide ...Gloriously ambitious and meticulously researched, In The Shadow of Caesar takes the reader into the very heart of the Roman world, from the blood of the battlefield and the arena to the debating and double-dealing of the Senate House and the Forum.
