EMPEROR - THE GODS OF WAR
53 B.C.: Fresh from victory in Gaul, Julius Caesar leads battle-hardened legions across the Rubicon river. . . threatening Rome herself. Even the master strategist Pompey is caught unprepared by the strike and forced to abandon his city. The armies of Rome are poised to face each other at last in civil war, led by the two greatest generals ever to walk the seven hills. For Caesar, the campaign against Pompey will test his military genius and his appetite for glory as the greatest fighting machine the world has ever seen divides against itself in a bloody conflict that sets brother against brother until victory or death. But another kingdom beckons. . . a world of ancient mysteries and languid sensuality, where a beautiful, bewitching woman waits to snare Caesar's heart.
