About this audiobook
Step into the gripping world of intrigue and betrayal with "Eve Of Ides," an immersive audio drama that delves into the untold story behind the night preceding Julius Caesar's fateful assassination. Join Caesar, Brutus, and Antony at a feast where secrets are unveiled, and destinies are sealed.
March 14, 44 BC. Elected Dictator of Rome, Caesar is about to embark on a new war in the East to avenge an old friend. With just one meeting of the Senate standing between him and his foes, Caesar attends a farewell dinner. Unknown to him, several of the guests are plotting to end his life. Among them is Brutus, who is deeply conflicted about the plan, struggling with both morality and mortality. As the tension rises, Antony poses the question of the best way to meet one's end. Caesar's poignant response, "What does it matter, so long as it's quick?" sets the stage for a journey that intertwines history with Shakespeare, delving into the unexplored relationships between the key players of the age – Caesar, Brutus, and Antony.

A writer of historical fiction, his novels span the Roman Empire (the COLOSSUS series, his play EVE OF IDES) to early Renaissance Italy (the STAR-CROSS'D series) through the Elizabethan era (his delightful espionage comedy HER MAJESTY'S WILL, starring Will Shakespeare and Kit Marlowe as hapless spies), to 19th Century feminism (WHAT GIRLS ARE GOOD FOR, his novel of reporter Nellie Bly). During his research, David discovered eleven novels by Bly herself that had been lost for over a century. David's stories combine a love of theatre with a deep respect for the quirks and passions of history. As the Historical Novel Society said, "Be prepared to burn the midnight oil. It's well worth it."Living in Chicago with his wife and two children, David describes himself as an "author, actor, father, husband-in reverse order."

Reviews for Eve Of Ides
3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fascinating concept -- dialogue mainly between Julius Caesar and Brutus, exploring their relationship and thoughts. Act 1 is set on the evening of the fatal Ides of March -- hence the title. Act 2 is set before the battle of Philippi, where Caesar's ghost and Brutus dialogue. I hope I get to see this play performed someday.
