From the publisher (source: The Internet Book List): In the long, fabled history of Rome, there was never one so beloved by so many - yet so feared and despised by lesser men whose power he eclipsed - than Gaius Julius Caesar. On the field of battle, he is invincible, and those who fight at his side would gladly give their lives for his glory. But even as Caesar sweeps across Gaul - brutally subduing the united tribes who defy the Republic - his enemies at home are orchestrating his downfall and disgrace. Vindictive schemers like Cato and Bibulus would tear Rome asunder just to destroy her greatest champion, using their wiles, position and false promises to seduce others into the fold: the spineless Cicero, the avaricious Brutus...even Pompey the Great, First Man in Rome and Caesar's former ally. But ill fortune can only come to the "Good Men" who underestimate Caesar. For rome is his destiny - a destiny that will impel him triumphantly on the banks of the Rubicon...and beyond, into legend.
