De: Steven Saylor

Narrado por: Ralph Cosham

In 48 BC the Roman generals Caesar and Pompey are engaged ina battle to rule the world. As Pompey plots a reckless stand on the banks ofthe Nile, Gordianus the Finder - who has brought his dying wife, Bethesda, to the Nile seeking a cure from its sacred waters - finds himself suddenly at the heart of a series of treacherous and history-altering events.

While Caesar and Cleopatra embark on a legendary romance, Egypt remains ravaged by the brutal contest between the queen and her brother, King Ptolemy. Worst of all for Gordianus, Meto, his once-disowned son and Caesar's right-hand man, stands falsely accused of murder.

Caesar's judgment will decide his son's fate, and it is up to Gordianus to somehow overcome malevolent forces to reveal the carefully obscured truth in order to save his son's life.

Continuity of readers a bit irksome

I'd prefer to keep one reader throughout the series. The change to this gentleman's Germanic(?) accent was jarring. Otherwise a fine without to by Saylor, as usual.

Nicely done

Entertaining, easy to follow, a nice mix of fiction and history well written and well performed.

Judge and Jury

I can't wait to read the next book. It feels like I'm fully immersed in Roman politics.
