Imperium
Loading...
I鈥檓 in the middle of Imperium, a Robert Harris political thriller set in ancient Rome and starring Cicero, the greatest orator of all time. It鈥檚 every bit as intriguing as a John Grishman novel, with the added thrill of being based on the real court documents and speeches of Cicero as transcribed by his secretarial slave, Tiro, who also narrates the story. Cicero鈥檚 speeches, timing, and strategies are awe-inspiring. 鈥淢inor鈥 characters include Julius Caesar, Pompey, and others. It鈥檚 hard to put this book down.
