Imperium by Robert HarrisRead about another entry on the list.
For those partial to a historical thriller, the first entry in Robert Harris’s Cicero trilogy transports us to ancient Rome, where we follow a promising young lawyer as he embarks on one of the most dramatic courtroom battles ever fought. If he wins, Cicero may seize control of Rome itself. Lose, however, and he’ll be finished. An all-round masterclass in historical fiction-writing, this story of an epic struggle for power is one for the ages.
