The second installment in Richard Harris’ trilogy about ancient Rome, Conspirata takes Cicero to the heights of his career, as consul and “Father of his Country” for saving the Republic from the Catiline Conspiracy. However, wheels within wheels are always working in politics, and an even deeper level of intrigue will be shaping the future of the Western World, as Gaius Julius Caesar starts making his power grab. The author has an excellent sense of narrative, for the richness of history, and even lets his prose style mimic (and quote) the cadences of Ciceronian Latin.
