Nero is history told on a grand scale. In this remarkable new novel, Cronin (a scholar of the ancient world, and Rome in particular) recreates the life and times of this mighty emperor. Interwoven through the plots and intrigue is the implicit notion that Nero himself led the Empire's demise through his misjudged ruthlessness and overwhelming ego. The decline of Rome, the persecution of christians and the tragedy of Seneca all play out grippingly through these pages.
