    About this ebook

    Sixth century Byzantium. The Emperor Justinian is determined to reunite the whole of the Roman Empire and his best general, Flavius Belisarius, is poised to invade Italy. Flavius and his men march north unopposed until the local senators of Naples refuse to surrender and a bloody assault ensues. Rome, hearing of the fate of Naples, yields the city to Flavius, but before long the Goths arrive and stage a brutal attack which Flavius’s army only just survives.

    Besieged and mired in a cesspit of corruption, Byzantium’s greatest general must navigate a world rife with deceit and brutality where only the most cut-throat survive.

    • 3/5
      Somewhat dryly told last part of Belisarius' life from his Italian campaigns and his Persian campaign and sad end of his life. His wife, Antonina, and the Empress Theodora, thwart him at every turn and influence Justinian against him. [The two women are two peas in a pod.] Belisarius' triumph is not that he won a great victory in battle, but that he held to his principles in spite of obstacles, even turning down temptations to become King of the Goths and taking the diadem. Sometimes the book read more like a nonfiction history rather than a novel.
