'Truly gifted, razor-sharp' Daily Telegraph

Ancient Rome teems with ambitious and ruthless men. None is more brilliant than Marcus Cicero. A rising young lawyer, backed by a shrewd wife, he decides to gamble everything on one of the most dramatic courtroom battles of all time. Win it, and he could win control of Rome itself. Lose it, and he is finished forever.

Imperium is an epic account of the timeless struggle for power and the sudden disintegration of a society.

Critics' reviews

Harris's best so far, rapid and compelling in narrative, copious in detail, thoroughly researched but also, which is more important, thoroughly imagined... Irresistible (Allan Massie)
In Harris's hands, the great game becomes a beautiful one
Genres ancient and modern have rarely been so skilfully synthesised... Gripping and accomplished (Tom Holland)
A joy to read in every way, and as a mirror to the politics of our present age has no equal
Harris deploys the devices of the thriller writer to trace the perils and triumphs of Cicero's ascent ... A finely accomplished recreation of the power struggles of more than two millenniums ago
Fascinating … Imperium masterfully dramatises issues not only pertinent to a vanished world but to our own (Peter Kemp)

Harris [is] a truly gifted, razor-sharp writer... Enormously

Enjoyable story with some phrases which felt like tongue in cheek jibes at modern politics!

Great reflection the machinations of power

I had no idea that Audible could just change the narrator from when I originally purchased this audiobook. Such a shame because the first time I listened I really enjoyed the book. Sadly on second listen I find that the different narrator ruins my experience. He is too over the top for my taste. I quit listening 2 chapters into my revisit.

New narrator reduces enjoyment.
