Rating: - A good if not great finale
Dont be put off by the Title of this review. It only gets 4 out of 5 because the rest were so good. To me the letdown is that he seems to rush over the last parts of Caesars life to finish the series. There probably wasn't enough for a 5th book, but seems to have crammed it all into the 4th. Saying that it's still an excellent book and this is probably my favourite set of historical fiction books.

Rating: - What a brilliant series of books!

I love historical fiction - Bernard Cornwell, the Flashman books, Sharon Penman, etc, and was very happy to discover Conn Iggulden's books. I sped through all 4 of the Emperor series, the exciiting life of Julius Caesar and then the 2 Genghis Khan books too!

I found all of them well written, very exciting, with some of the best battle scenes I have read. Ancient Rome jsut comes to life effortlessly it seems,(and the plains of Mongolia in the other series) you can feel the city inhabited ... Read More

Rating: - Caesar's last hoorah!
The Gods of War is the final installment in Conn Igguldens' series of Emperor novels and it sees Julius cross the Rubicon river and take charge of Rome. He follows the fleeing Pompey across to Greece and Egypt where he meets the enigmatic Cleopatra before returning home to be worshipped, idolised and then treacherously murdered by a supposed loyal friend and supporter.

As with the three previous novels, this is a highly readable and enjoyable book. Iggulden manages to keep the reader glued to the ... Read More
