'Augustus: Son of Rome forges action and adventure with politics and philosophy. This superb story is drenched in both blood and wisdom - and puts Foreman on the map as the coming man of historical fiction' - Saul David, author of the Zulu Hart series.
If you enjoy Roman historical fiction check out Richard Foreman's latest book, Spies of Rome: Blood & Honour, a crime thriller featuring Augustus Caesar and Marcus Agrippa.
Eagles Rising.
Books 1 & 2 in bestselling author Richard Foreman's epic Augustus series are now available in this must-have collective edition.
AUGUSTUS: SON OF ROME
'Augustus: Son of Rome' tells the story of the assassination of Julius Caesar and the rise of his heir, Gaius Octavius, as he journeys to Rome from Apollonia. We see a boy grow into a man as Octavius develops the moral courage, intelligence and ruthlessness that will finally see him become Augustus, Emperor of Rome.
The pen and sword will be employed to defeat his enemies and Octavius will earn the name of "Caesar".
Yet Rome will exact its price - and triumph will be accompanied by tragedy.
Julius Caesar, Cicero, Cleopatra, Mark Antony, Brutus and Marcus Agrippa all feature in this epic adventure, which will appeal to fans of Shakespeare, Plutarch and Conn Iggulden alike.
AUGUSTUS: SON OF CAESAR
Caesar is dead - murdered by Marcus Brutus and his fellow conspirators.
Mark Antony now holds power in Rome, through his position as consul and the legions under his command.
Brutus has fled the capital, along with Cassius Longinus. Cicero is a shadow of the force he once was.
The Senate are unable or unwilling to oppose Antony but Octavius, Caesar's heir, is daring to defy Rome's new dictator.
Octavius - along with Marcus Agrippa and the centurion Lucius Oppius - must first negotiate the treacherous politics of the capital and then recruit an army, in order to defeat their enemies.
War is inevitable. The fate of Rome will be decided on the battlefield rather than in the Forum.
Caesar is dead. Long live Caesar.
Recommended for fans of Conn Iggulden, Ben Kane and Simon Scarrow.
Richard Foreman is the bestselling historical novelist of the Sword of Rome and Sword of Empire series. He has also written Band of Brothers: The Complete Campaigns, based upon Henry V and the Agincourt campaign, as well as a series of novels charting the rise of Augustus Caesar and Marcus Agrippa (Augustus: Son of Rome and Augustus: Son of Caesar). He lives in London.
Praise for Spies of Rome: Blood & Honour
"An arresting opening that leads into a thoroughly gripping story. Impressive research and understanding of the period allows Richard Foreman to move so seamlessly and effectively from historical epic to historical detective thriller. A must read for fans of Steven Saylor." Peter Tonkin, author of 'The Ides'.
Praise for 'Raffles: The Complete Innings':
'Classy, humorous and surprisingly touching tales of cricket, friendship and crime - David Blackburn, The Spectator.
Praise for 'Band of Brothers: Complete Campaigns':
'Escapism at its best... A great read that tells much about the style of war and how the individuals fought, I can recommend this!' - Michael Jecks, author of 'Fields of Glory'.
