Harris is the master. With Lustrum, [he] has surpassed himself. It is one of the most exciting thrillers I have ever read -- Peter Jones * Evening Standard * Harris communicates such a strong sense of Imperial Rome - the book is awesomely well-informed about the minutiae of everyday life * Guardian * Thoroughly engaging ... The allure of power and the perils that attend it have seldom been so brilliantly anatomised in a thriller * Sunday Times * Harris never makes his comparisons between Rome and modern Britain explicit, but they are certainly there. And that's the principal charm of his ancient thrillers - their up-to-dateness * Sunday Telegraph * Magnificent ... Better than Robert Graves's Claudius novels -- Allan Massie * Standpoint *
