En la nueva aventura de Decio Cecilio Metelo el Joven, al que encontramos esta vez encargado de la tesorería imperial, se suceden los asesinatos de personas a las que no unen la menor relación, salvo su condición de acreedores. Al mismo tiempo, Decio detecta en los círculos que frecuenta el inicio de una conspiración para acabar con la república y sustituirla por una dictadura. Todo indica que Catilina está detrás de la conspiración. Cicerón encarga a Decio que se infiltre en la organización y haga fracasar la conjura. Decio cultiva la amistad de Catilina y los favores de la hijastra de éste, Aurelia, y poco a poco descubre que los crímenes forman parte de la conspiración. On his way to his duties in the temple of Saturn, Decius Caecilius Metellus passes a murder scene. As the number of corpses mounts and there seem to be mysterious comings and goings in the temple, he decides to investigate. Comparisons with Steven Saylor's version of Catiline are inevitable, and it has to be said Saylor's is a more nuanced and also more memorable character. By comparison John Maddox Roberts's Catiline is something of a cardboard cut-out villain. I do hope DCM is not going to fall victim to the wiles of a sexy, scheming, villainess in every installment. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

It was a summer of glorious triumph for the mighty Roman Republic. Her invincible legions had brought all foreign enemies to their knees. But in Rome there was no peace. The streets were flooded with the blood of murdered citizens, and there were rumors of more atrocities to come. Decius Caecilius Metellus the Younger was convinced a conspiracy existed to overthrow the government-a sinister cabal that could only be destroyed from within. But admission into the traitorous society of evil carried a grim price: the life of Decius's closest friend...and maybe his own. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
