This is the first book in The Empire series, books about various unusual Roman Emperors. The second book, Augustus, will be out later this year. This one is a story, a true story which I always think are the best of stories. A Story of Ancient Rome. An Adventure Story, perhaps? It is a story of two protagonists, Julius Caesar and Marcus Cato. They represented two opposing philosophies, both dedicated to the same end, the recovery of the health of the Roman Republic which was in their day unwell. Both men were fighters, Caesar on the battlefield where he was arguably the greatest tactician ever and certainly of his times, and plucked many a victory from the jaws of defeat. Cato fought in the Senate. There he opposed Caesar and everything he stood for. It wouldn't have needed much, a different decision by Caesar on crossing the Rubicon for example, to have made Cato pre-eminent in history and Caesar just a byword. These are their 'memoirs'. A sample chapter can be read on my website at http: //www.caesarcato.org/extract1.html. The book takes the form of alternating chapters written by each of the two protagonists. The action covers a wide geographical range, from North Africa in the south to England in the north, from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to Greece in the east.
