In praise of David Barbaree:

 ‘Outstanding. An extraordinary recreation of ancient Rome. Miss this at your peril’ Ben Kane

‘Barbaree has delivered an extraordinary first novel, impressing with its complex plotting, powerful imagination, strong and authentic characters, and the author’s gift for making fiction seem so palpably real. Politics, scheming, corruption, barbarity and betrayal… the best bits of Roman history but with an original new twist!’ Lancashire Evening Post

‘This marvelous debut moves backwards and forwards in time to tell the story of Nero’s possible and astonishing fate’ – Sunday Express
