From the reviews of THE GATES OF ROME: 'If you liked GLADIATOR, you'll love EMPEROR.' - THE TIMES 'Great fun ! the great events and breathtaking brutality of the times are brought lavishly to life. Russell Crowe and Sean Bean's agents are surely already jockeying for the wide-screen roles.' - GUARDIAN 'A brilliant story - I wish I'd written it. A novel of vivid characters, stunning action and unrelenting pace. It really is a terrific read.' - BERNARD CORNWELL
