A fabulous foray into the past, AD238 is the Year of the Six Emperors and makes for a fascinating and compelling tale. This is the second in the ‘Throne of the Caesars’ series, it’s best to start at the beginning with ‘Iron and Rust’ and read the books in sequence, otherwise you really will miss out on the story. There are a lot of characters jostling for dominance, however the chapter headings with dates and locations really helps to contain the story so it doesn't run away from you. The Roman way of life, culture and principles of the times are intriguing and sit perfectly alongside the warring factions. The author creates a world that is easy to imagine, this was a particularly hazardous time to be an Emperor, to live a long life it was best not to enter the power struggling political arena, however it’s remarkable place to be able to visit from the safety of your armchair. ~ Liz Robinson

 

A 'Piece of Passion' from the publisher...
‘Harry Sidebottom is an extraordinary writer, who, whether in the closed-doors, small-room power-play of imperial politics, or on the grand-scale narrative of epic set-piece battle, underpins his thrilling storytelling with incredible authenticity and historical insight. His Throne of the Caesars promises readers fiction where Patrick O’Brian meets A Song of Ice and Fire.’ - Katie Espiner, Publishing Director, HarperFiction
