    Another blockbuster from Conn Iggulden
  

*by J***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 23, 2013*

I have been hooked on the Emperor and Conqueror series since stumbling across a used paperback version of the Gates of Rome in 2004.  Since then, I have pre-ordered all the novels and devoured them within a few days of release.The previous book was brought to a close with the murder of Julius but we were still on the edge of a cliff, there could have been several spin-offs following the Marcus Brutus, Marc Antony or Octavian stories.  In this novel, we resume the story a few moments after Ceasar has fallen and see the power struggle between the senators and heirs to Rome. For those that have studied history, the plot is a little spoiled since we all know who will be triumphant and become the first true Emperor of Rome.  Nonetheless, this book outlines the many alliances, betrayals and battles that were fought to set the Roman Empire on a path to become one of the largest and most successful in history.As always, Conn Iggulden's characterisation and imagery are excellent.  Absorbing you into the story and allowing you to walk with the Romans, giving the reader a history lesson within an edge-of-the-seat historical epic.  The protagonists, Marc Antony and Octavian are displayed in realistic context, not the all-powerful adventure hero from Hollywood but real leaders who face the pressures of command and must deal with the emotions and stresses of politics and military campaigns.This novels brings the Emperor series to a tidy conclusion but I would love to see another novel covering the collapse of the Second Trimverate and the war between Octavian and Marc Antony/Cleopatra.  As with Kublai Kahn, this novel covers Octavian's greatest achievements when he fought in the name of Julius Ceasar to bring justice to his murderers.  Sadly, a few years later, he  personally orders the murder of Julius' true son and heir to the joint empires of Rome and Egypt.  Ptolemy Cesar should have been the first emperor but Octavian, our protagonist, went against his principles and ended his life at only seventeen years old.  This action goes against everything that we see of Octavian in this novel and places him in league with Marcus Brutus as a betrayer of Julius Cesar.

    Emperor Series
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 3, 2022*

The whole is gripping from the first page until the last.  Conn Iggulden is a master of historical novels bringing each character to life in an educational way to readers who have no knowledge of Roman times.

    Iggulden Brings Augustus To Life
  

*by C***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 10, 2014*

A good place to start if you are interested in the life of Caesar Augustus. This may be a work of fiction but  Conn Iggulden always does his research. This is probably a good approximation of the facts. The book starts with Julius Caesar's death and ends with the death of his assassins in the battle at Philipi. The story follows Octavian (Augustus) and his great friends Maecenas and Agrippa as they seek to avenge the death of Caesar and to gain the inheritance of Octavian. It's a memorable story of the teenager who becomes the Emperor. If you were reluctant to read a book on this period because you were concerned it might be boring or stodgy  this is a good place to start. Iggulden brings life to the characters in a way that does justice to the facts and keeps up the interest level. Since the book ends at the Battle of Philipi we can expect Iggulden to further explore the rise and reign of Augustus in at least one more book.
