***OUT NOW, PRECIPICE, THE THRILLING NEW NOVEL FROM ROBERT HARRIS***
'Confirms Harris's undisputed place as our leading master of both the historical and contemporary thriller' Daily Mail
'Climatic in every sense . . . I could not put it down' Guardian
There was a time when Cicero held Caesar's life in the palm of his hand. But now Caesar is the dominant figure and Cicero's life is in ruins. Cicero's comeback requires wit, skill and courage. And for a brief and glorious period, the legendary orator is once more the supreme senator in Rome. But politics is never static. And no statesman, however cunning, can safeguard against the ambition and corruption of others.
'The finest fictional treatment of Ancient Rome in the English language' The Scotsman

Couldn't put it down although a fiction, it's based on fact and gives a real insight into a civilisation that thrived for over a thousand years. Puts the Julius Caesar profile in its true perspective also the reality of living in a times where privilege and influence were bed partners with corruption and violence.
