"Rome, Accursed City," the second part of Julius Caesar's epic biography, begins with his exile and ends with the Gallic invasion. Between these events, two turbulent decades of life will pass, full of political, military, and personal maneuvering and intrigue. Caesar will be captured by pirates (and freed), visit Rhodes (and learn true eloquence), return to his homeland (and participate in the suppression of Spartacus's rebellion), join the Senate, witness Catiline's conspiracy, form the Triple Alliance that will allow him to rise to power, subjugate the Lusitanians, and make friends, patrons, and new enemies.
Meanwhile, Pompey, his ally and later mortal enemy, will treacherously defeat Sertorius in Spain, crush the pirates, and then, dreaming of emulating Alexander the Great, head east and return triumphantly to Rome. And somewhere in Egypt, Cleopatra will be born and grow up, but no one pays any attention to it yet...
Santiago Posteguillo, a meticulous researcher and energetic storyteller, bestselling author with a combined circulation of over 4.5 million copies, continues his colossal project. The second book in the series is an adventure saga, a political thriller, and a panoramic battle. Here, Julius Caesar will achieve power and discover its true price when Rome—damned Rome, which does not negotiate and spares no one—demands in return the one thing Caesar cannot sacrifice...
