Michael reviewed Lustrum by Robert Harris (Emperor, #2)
A great start to an excellent trilogy about the final days of the Roman Republic
5 stars
A great series about Cicero's life in the final days of the Roman Republic. No great surprises if you know history, but Robert Harris knows how to write a history novel. Plus, the entire series is not full of battles or anything. It's rather a historical political thriller about Cicero's attempts to somehow safe the Republic.
