The young Caesar must overcome enemies on land and at sea to become a battle-hardened leader -- in the spectacular new novel from the bestselling author of The Gates of Rome. It covers around eighty topics, from building a soapbox racer and tying knots, to learning about famous battles and how to make potassium aluminium sulphate crystals.

Pericles in particular, is a very complex character who does not always take the right decision, to the detriment of Athens or his family. Abandoned on the north African coast after hard months of captivity, he begins to gather a group of recruits that he will eventually forge into a unit powerful enough to gain vengeance on his captors and to suppress a new uprising in Greece. I just wanted to let you know that my son has received his gift pack in York and he was really touched!

I appreciate there's a lot of story to tell regarding the Peloponnesian wars and it may be hard to fit it all in a single book but I thought the ending was extremely rushed and very disappointing.

This novel follows the character Pericles, who eventually became the leader of Athens and covers his immense struggles against the warlike Spartans.

If you have read any of this author’s books then you will know how fascinating and engaging they are.And even after the city itself is taken and Julius, Brutus, Mark Antony and Octavian re-enter in triumph, there are many battles left to fight.

Whilst Sparta is busy in the aftermath of this disaster, Pericles believes that this is a golden opportunity to take measures to protect Athens, he believes that defensive walls to protect both the city and access to the harbour and sea , will be crucial in future times of strife. Not only the flow of the prose never disrupted by the head-hopping narrative, but I also found myself completely engrossed by every POV switch; it was entertaining to see Iggulden juggles the variety of characters perspectives and emotions in scenes that are full of tension and drama. I popped in a couple of weeks ago and picked-up a book for my grandma related to WW1 and Castle Donington.
