Great book about Julius Cesar, Mark Anthony, Cleopatra, Octavius, Cicero, Brutus, Cato... in my opinion this is the best story of all times (not necessarily this book but the story itself) and is a real story! Some authors write about magic, monsters, vampires, etc., trying to create an interesting story to catch the attention of people; some readers read about fiction thinking that there aren't good real stories... but this period of the time, this characters (where they all are protagonists), they all are really interesting. The republic is dying, a dictator wins power, to which side do you belong? there is love, treason, war... and when Cesar dies and you believe that the story is getting to an end, some other figures emerge even more powerful, giving a new turn of events!
I love this book. I'm a Caesar fanatic..Colleen McCullough also writes good books on Caesar

Storyline
Bestselling novelist Margaret George brings to life the glittering kingdom of Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile, in this luch, sweeping, and richly detailed saga. Told in Cleopatra's own voice, this is a mesmerizing tale of ambition, passion, and betrayl, which begins when the twenty-year-old queen seeks out the most powerful man in the world, Julius Caesar, and does not end until, having survived the assassination of Caesar and the defeat of the second man she loves, Marc Antony, she plots her own death rather than be paraded in triumph through the streets of Rome.
Most of all, in its richness and authenticity, it is an irresistible story that reveals why Margaret George's work has been widely acclaimed as "the best kind of historical novel, one the reader can't wait to get lost in." (San Francisco Chronicle).
