Rome will never be the same again…
The empire is at a crisis point. Caesar, Rome's greatest general and conqueror of Gaul, now faces being stripped of his command and dragged back to Italy for prosecution by his enemies.
His former ally, Pompey, has sided with his opponents in the Senate and frustrates all efforts to find peace.
Caesar does the unthinkable. He crosses the Rubicon and marches his army into Italy to invade Rome, with Mark Antony at his side. The empire is thrown into civil war. Antony will either rise to the heights of power, or be executed as a traitor. The die has been cast.
This is the greatest story of Roman history retold from Mark Antony's perspective by a rising star of the genre. Perfect for fans of Conn Iggulden and Ben Kane.
REVIEW
If an author chooses to write about someone or some well-known event that has been written about many times by others, then the author had better be at his creative best. Fortunately for us, Mr. Gough passes the test with flying colors. Caesar's General is an in-depth look at the life of Antony, and his complicated relationship with Gaius Julius Caesar. I came away from the reading impressed with the way Antony's successes and failures are portrayed with all of the myths and rumors explained in a most believable fashion, especially Antony's role on the Ides of March. Looking forward to the third book of this captivating series. 5 Stars
