Rendition In Pursuance Of Books The Death of Kings (Emperor #2)

The acclaimed author of Emperor: The Gates of Rome returns to the extraordinary life of Julius Caesar in a new novel that takes us further down the path to glory . . . as Caesar comes into his own as a man, warrior, senator, husband, and leader.

In a sparsely settles region of North Africa, a band of disheveled soldiers turn their eyes toward one man among them: their leader, Julius Caesar. The soldiers are Roman legionaries. And their quarry is a band of pirates who dared to kidnap Julius Caesar for ransom. Now, as Caesar exacts his revenge and builds a legend far from Rome, his friend Marcus Brutus is fighting battles of another sort, rising to power in the wake of the assassination of a dictator. Once Brutus and Caesar were as close as brothers, devoted to the same ideals and attracted to the same forbidden women. Now they will be united again by a shock wave from the north, where a gladiator named Spartacus is building an army of seventy thousand slaves—to fight a cataclysmic battle against Rome itself.

Write Up About Books The Death of Kings (Emperor #2)

Iggulden defies the "sophomore curse" with the second of his Emperor novels.I liked the first (The Gates of Rome) enough to rush right out and buy the next three, so clearly, it was working for me. I had, though, to recognize its lack of depth -- and I think I even used "popcorn" in a description to friends.The Death of Kings is a full-blown meal, easily sating my needs.The core characters of Gates (Caesar and Brutus) are still at the forefront, but many of the secondary characters -- and many

Not as interesting as the first, and slightly less accurate, but still compelling and fun.

It's been many years since I read the first book of the trilogy, so I was initially wary that I'd be unable to follow this book properly.However, the author manages to mention relevant anecdotes casually within the context of the story line so new readers would be able to pick up the story easily. The Death of Kings traces Caeser's life as a young man, a time when the Republic of Rome was a major power and yet faced various threats from within her borders: namely, the dictatorship of Sulla, the

Ceasor and Marcus are adventuring around Greece and Africa, winning laurels and defeating their enemies. Witness a unique insight into the making of one of the greatest Roman legends of all time, the way he chooses his public life over his private life, how he prefers power and honour over money. I found the Senate drama riveting, as the powerful elites jostle for power. The war between the slave army of Sparctus and the Roman Legions was very engaging narrative as well.

I enjoyed The Gates of Rome, the first volume of Conn Igguldens sequence of five novels about Julius Caesar, so much that I pressed straight on with this, the second novel.Once again, Conn Iggulden has penned a page turner all of which is rooted in fact. Once again, the historical note at the books conclusion explains what happened and where the narrative veers from the record.Julius Caesar is such a wonderful character for this kind of treatment. In this instalment he is captured by pirates who

I loved this damn book! Everything. What was truly exasperating though was how it fucked with the truth. Yes, I did try to find a kinder word, but I couldn't. Mr. Iggulden screwed the pooch. I have spent as much time looking up the truth, as I have reading this. "Whatever this is." Yet, I still give 5 stars. This book, and the first, and now I'm on the third..they are unstoppable! So long as I keep the real facts straight, then I'm good. I will admit that I have 2 "coffee table" books on the

I was hoping for more from this book, I thought with Julius being older the story would get more interesting and the depictions of roman life and roman politics would be expanded upon. I was disappointed in this.The story follows Julius through his capture and fight with the pirates off the African coast, Marcus returns from the army to find his mother and join in the politics of Rome while waiting the return of Julius. With the death of Sulla, Julius can return to Rome and join in the fight to
