    About this audiobook

    A gripping historical thriller and the third instalment in the Rome's Invincibles saga. The battle for control of Rome continues.

    Octavian has defeated and killed Caesar's assassins, but the road to absolute power is still long and treacherous. A threat now comes from Sextus Pompeius – a cunning pirate who rules the Italian coastline, terrorising Perugia's citizens.

    Suddenly, Civil War seems like child's play in comparison to a campaign against piracy. Octavian is close to defeat and death. Everything seems to conspire against him: his enemy appears divinely blessed, public opinion is against him, the soldiers lack confidence in their commander, and rebellion is just around the corner...

    A thrilling, fast-paced historical adventure, that will hook fans of Conn Iggudlen, Robert Harris and Damion Hunter.

    Andrea Frediani is an Italian author and academic. He has published several non-fiction books as well as historical novels including the "Invincible" series and the "Dictator" trilogy. His works have been translated into seven languages.

      Nov 30, 2018

      In many ways, Ferdinand Addis's book reads more like a slightly modernized and extended version of Livy than an actual work of what we would consider modern, serious history.
