The Cicero Trilogy

This epic trilogy by Robert Harris includes his bestselling novels: Imperium, Lustrum and Dictator

Imperium - Compellingly written in Tiro's voice, Imperium takes us inside the violent, treacherous world of Roman politics, to describe how one man - clever, compassionate, devious, vulnerable - fought to reach the top.

Lustrum - From the discovery of a child's mutilated body, through judicial execution and a scandalous trial, to the brutal unleashing of the Roman mob, Lustrum is a study in the timeless enticements and horrors of power.

Dictator - Riveting and tumultuous, Dictator encompasses some of the most epic events in human history yet is also an intimate portrait of a brilliant, flawed, frequently fearful yet ultimately brave man – a hero for his time and for ours.

This is an unforgettable collection from a master storyteller.

  • Robert Harris's compelling Roman trilogy . . . Informed by Harris's wide reading of classical texts and his intimate knowledge of current intrigue, the novel proves that when it comes to politics, there's nothing new under the sun
