Romes's Invincibles #2
Revenge
Caesar is dead. Revenge has armed his hand. His name is Ottaviano. Perfect for fans of Simon Scarro and Ben Kane.
Despite his young age, Octavian is already a consul. His position is not yet consolidated enough for him to carry out his plans of revenge upon the murderers of his beloved adoptive father Julius Caesar, though - and no courtroom can quench his thirst for justice.
He makes powerful allies in Mark Antony and Lepidus, with whom he forms a triumvirate, and unleashes upon the streets of Rome a reign of terror, turning the screws until the tension is such that it can find release only upon the battlefield. And he doesn't have to wait long: soon two great armies, led by four renowned commanders, stand ready to clash in Macedonia, far from the city of Rome and its corruption. One one side, Brutus and Cassius – on the other, Octavian and Mark Antony. It is the battle of Philippi, one of the most famous in Roman history. Is this where Caesar's murder will finally be avenged?
What readers are saying about REVENGE:
'I have always been an admirer of Frediani and this work did not disappoint'
'Beautiful – I read it in one day!'

An exceptional story
This was a riveting tale of the complexities and political intrigue of ancient Rome. The descriptions of battle were exceptional, as we jumped from sea to land encounters. The characters were all believable , if not likeable, and it was hard to take a break from the story. A well recommended book.

Revenge against the Opitare (forerunners of the Establishment)
Gaius Julius Caesar Octavian tracked down the Popular (Populist) Dictator’s murderers (Brutus and Cassius). The dictator was Octavian’s adoptive father – Gaius Julius Caesar. Octavian was supported by his close friends, Agrippa, Maecenas, Rufus and Chaerea. Marcus Antonius wanted more power taken from Octavian for himself while allied with Octavian against the killers.
This second book of Rome’s Invincibles series set on the road to the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC.
Near non-stop action and thriller based on the true events after Caesar’s death which broke the ordinary Roman public’s hearts.
I look forward to the more exciting sequel of the series.

It's great when you find a new author that you enjoy, knowing that there a number of their books to catch up on. Andrew Frediani writes about the complex evolution of Octavian as the murdered Ceaser's successor despite the machinations of the Senate and rival Mark Antony. Trying to savour it and not read it too quickly but failing, its that good.
