Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Gritty, passionate and violent, this thrilling book is a real page-turner and a damn good read. It brings Spartacus--and ancient Rome--to vivid, colorful life. -Steven Pressfield, author of>Gates of Fire Long the stuff of legends, Spartacus is known to most modern readers through the classic Kubrick film version of Howard Fast's novel. Now bestselling historical novelist Ben Kane returns to the source material and presents a lively and compelling new vision of the man who was Spartacus--Roman army auxiliary, slave, gladiator and ultimately the leader of an army of slaves who nearly brought Rome to its knees. Ben Kane's brilliant novel begins in the Thracian village to which Spartacus has returned after escaping from life as an auxiliary in the Roman army.
