Imperium - Robert Harris

have become a big fan of historical fiction - and especially of anything set in and around the era of the Roman Empire - so, being a big fan of Robert Harris and his previous novels, could not resist when I saw this last week in Tesco for the bargain price of £3.73!!

Surprisingly, the story is enthralling from the start, with an account of the death of Stalin, and the theft of the notebook, and as Kelso begins to learn more, about the contents of the book and the implications of ...
