Su questo libro

Recensione

Fascinating to read, very well written, an intriguing plot and I enjoyed it very much. (Derek Jacobi star of I, Claudius and Gladiator)

The best historical novel I have ever read. (L. Neil Smith)

I can't resist recommending this first volume of a promised trilogy. Set during the last pangs of Imperial Rome, with a vivid account of the machinations of the early Church, it is well-informed, atmospheric and beautifully written. (Literary Review)

An enjoyable read. (Historical Novel Society )
