Caesar's Women

by Colleen McCullough

  His victories were legend- in battle and bedchamber alike. And love was a political weapon he wielded cunningly and ruthlessly in his private war against enemies in the forum. From the daughter he deigned to sacrifice on the altar of ambition and the wives who bought him influence to the cold-hearted mistress he burned for but could never trust, Caesar's women all knew his power...But only one would seal his fate.

  From Colleen McCullough— the acclaimed New York Times

  bestselling author of The Thorn Birds— comes an epic and

  remarkable saga of great events, intrigues and personages; the

  story of Gaius Julius Caesar— the brilliant, beloved patrician

  who was history— and the women he adored, used, and

  destroyed on his irresistible rise to prominence.

  "McCULLOUGH IS ON FIRE... Caesar is one of her strongest

  and most fascinating characters,.. The determined reader is

  rewarded with a deep understanding of the personal, political and

  sexual intrigue that made up the fabric of Roman life."
