This enthralling piece of work by first-time novelist Robert Southworth explores the avenue history could have run down if Spartacus had survived the slave rebellion in 73BC, an uprising whose aftermath didn't deliver the remains of the famous slave leader. The brute force of this famous figure of Roman history is relayed in vivid prose, and the events of the period re-imagined from a fictional perspective. The work is sure to appeal to fans of Roman history, as well as those enamoured by stories of action and adventure. Whilst the figure of Spartacus continues to hold massive appeal for contemporary audiences, this work will be well placed upon the market for hungry fans of the genre.
