Serie: Roma #6

En el apogeo de su carrera, Julio César ha sometido a sus enemigos y extendido el imperio hasta los confines del mundo conocido. Así pues, concentra sus energías en el bienestar de Roma y en afianzar su poder. Sin heredero legítimo, Julio César, cuyo único hijo es fruto de su relación con Cleopatra, verá en el joven Octavio a su posible sucesor. Una emocionante obra llena de intrigas, batallas, crímenes y amoríos.

Skipped two tomes in this series, indulging my fierce fascination with Cleopatra. Worth the transgression. ( )

A fascinating look at how and why (hypothetical!) Caesar made his (great) nephew his heir and what the very young (18) man did with that. Follow up in Antony and Cleopatra. ( )

An interesting historical novel. While I liked it, I felt there could have been much more. 3 stars. ( )

With more facts known about this period, it seems that the author needed to tell us more, rather than rely on story telling that she did in previous books in this series.
However, it was interesting to read the tension leading up to the death of Julius Caesar, even though the outcome is known. ( )
