Quick Overview
The young Julius Caesar is serving on board a war galley, gaining a fearsome reputation. Then his ship is captured and he is abandoned on the North African coast.

The second volume in the acclaimed Emperor series, in which Conn Iggulden brilliantly interweaves history and adventure to recreate the astonishing life of Julius Caesar -- an epic tale of ambition and rivalry, bravery and betrayal, from an outstanding new voice in historical fiction. In The Gates of Rome, the young Julius Caesar had begun to make his mark when Rome was consumed by a devastating power struggle and he was forced to flee the burning city and join a war galley heading for Egypt. Now we see the impetuous young man developing into a battle-hardened leader. After rapidly learning the ropes of life on board ship, Julius displays his leadership qualities as his crew gains a fearsome reputation patrolling the southern Mediterranean. But these are dangerous waters, and no sooner has he led a memorable victory at Mytilene than the ship is captured by pirates. When they are finally set free on the north African coast, he gathers around him -- by astonishing strength of will -- a new force of men powerful enough not only to gain vengeance on the pirates, but also to suppress a new uprising by Mithridates in Greece. He returns to Rome a hero -- only for a new crisis to erupt. A band of gladiators -- led by Spartacus -- has sparked a massive slave rebellion. Without delay, Julius Caesar, Brutus and his other loyal followers must march north to confront the slave army that is threatening to destroy the Republic.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
