There was a moment, just over two thousand years ago, when the whole Mediterranean world could have been ruled by a woman. The Roman Republic was crumbling, torn apart by rivalries. Egypt was a wellspring of wealth. But its rulers had squandered their advantage and ended up hopelessly indebted to the protection racket that called itself Rome. Now a woman, as Pharaoh, had a chance to reclaim what Egypt had lost, to forge an alliance which would save both Rome and Egypt. Ancient history, high politics, sex and power collide in this dramatic story of the Egyptian queen who confronted and contested the power of Rome. This is Cleopatra and Antonius as you've never seen them before, in the first novel from number one bestselling author Alice Roberts.
I may have screamed when I saw the review of this novel. It'll be the first fictional book by Alice Roberts who usually writes nonfiction and I couldn't be more excited. I love her nonfiction books and can only imagine how amazing this fictional one is going to be. AND IT'S ABOUT CLEOPATRA!
What book are you awaiting today?
