Based on the rise and fall of Julius Caesar, the 'Emperor' sequence was the author's first venture into historical fiction; it is this series, together with its later 'Conqueror' counterpart which makes him one of the most successful writers in this field today. The sequence comprises The Gates of Rome' (2003), 'The Death of Kings' (2004), 'The Field of Swords' (2005), 'The Gods of War' (2006) and 'The Blood of Gods' (2013). 'A brilliant story - I wish I'd written it' (Bernard Cornwell). COMPLETE SETS ARE SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION.
