About This Item

Harper Collins,, [2003-2013]. 5 vols., 8vo., First Edition; cloth (brown/black/black/black/tan respectively), backstrips lettered in gilt, silver or red, coloured endpapers, a near fine set in unclipped dustwrapper. Based on the rise and fall of Julius Caesar, the 'Emperor' sequence was the author's first venture into historical fiction; it is this series, together with its later 'Conqueror' counterpart which makes him one of the most successful writers in this field today. The sequence comprises The Gates of Rome' (2003), 'The Death of Kings' (2004), 'The Field of Swords' (2005), 'The Gods of War' (2006) and 'The Blood of Gods' (2013). 'A brilliant story - I wish I'd written it' (Bernard Cornwell). COMPLETE SETS ARE SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION.

Synopsis

The early life of Julius Caesar is recreated in a novel that brilliantly interweaves history and adventure. An epic tale of ambition and rivalry, bravery and betrayal, from an outstanding new voice in historical fiction – already a top-ten bestseller in hardback.From the spectacle of gladiatorial combat to the intrigue of the Senate, from the foreign wars that created an empire to the betrayals that almost tore it apart, the Emperor novels tell the remarkable story of the man who would become the greatest Roman of them all: Julius Caesar.Brilliantly interweaving history and adventure, The Gates of Rome introduces an ambitious young man facing his first great test. In the city of Rome, a titanic power struggle is about to shake the Republic to its core. Citizen will fight citizen in a bloody conflict – and Julius Caesar will be in the thick of the action.
