And enjoy the most deranged Caesar salad ever served up. An outsider from birth, Paul has pursued just one driving ambition for life. To sneak through it unnoticed. But Paul is a foot messenger who's just been handed a mysterious new assignment. He's being thrust into the middle of the most dangerous conspiracy in history. Soon he's face-to-face with the legendary and blustering leader of the empire. And in very short while, they're both fleeing for their lives - together. Two unexpected companions are about to be forced to coordinate their entirely opposing urges. And to run into some astonishing lessons. About courage.The real meaning of friendship.And surprise identities. It's all told in this exhilarating and almost certainly true history of Rome, unearthed after 2,000 years. "Try imagining P.G.
