Critics Review
‘A tour de force from a master of Roman fiction.’ Gordon Doherty [received 14/03/2023 via email to HT]
‘I thoroughly enjoyed Caesar’s Soldier - a fascinating account of a complex and compelling man who was so very much more than “…and Cleopatra”.’ Ruth Downie [received 19/03/2023 via email to HT]
‘Another thrilling Roman read from Alex Gough, sparkling with life.’ Alison Morton [Received 19/03/2023 via email to HT]
‘Caesar’s Soldier puts flesh on the historical bones of Marcus Antonius, the MarK Antony of Shakespeare and Suetonius’s besotted lover of Cleopatra. This Antony is charming, licentious, dissolute, but also a master tactician, and above all dangerous. We follow him from his childhood as the son of a disgraced father and stepfather, through his early military career and two marriages to the defeat of Vercingetorix in Gaul by Caesar with Antony as his general. The first in a trilogy, Caesar’s Soldier leaves us eagerly awaiting the next volume.’ Amanda Cockrell [received 20/03/2023 via email to KN]
‘Rarely has an author managed to so realistically evoke an era as Alex Gough in this riveting tale of the young Marc Antony as he moves from boyhood into a young adult with an eye on both politics and war. Rome teeters, Caesar rises, Antony shines. Roman fiction has a new master in Alex Gough.’ S. J. A. Turney [received 14/04/2023 via email to HT]
‘A bold and exciting recreation of the Roman world.’ Harry Sidebottom [Receieved 27/04/2023 via email to HT]
‘From treason and intrigue in Rome to ferocious battles in Judea, Britain and Gaul, and a fascinating glimpse of the Egypt of the Ptolemys and the young Cleopatra, Caesar’s Soldier paints a vivid panorama of the world of the late Roman Republic, seen through the eyes of a man who would become one of the biggest and baddest political and military players of them all, Marcus Antonius. This is a compelling and admirably detailed opening act to what promises to be a truly epic saga.’ Ian Ross [recieved 24/04/2023 via email to HT]
