"'This may be the greatest tale of the ancient world. Hugely enjoyable' CONN IGGULDEN

'Excellent . . . scintillating' THE TIMES

Who will conquer the greatest city in the ancient world?

Alexander the Great's sudden death has left his vast empire in chaos. War rages, cities fall and the lives of thousands are torn apart as his former generals struggle for a share. Alliances and betrayals are rife, and as one man threatens to gain an advantage, the others will not hesitate to plot his downfall.

The one-eyed brute Antigonos is the most formidable power in the Western world and now has his eye on the jewel of the east: Babylon. As he schemes to seize it before returning to the West, his enemies join forces to stop him, mobilising fleets from Greece to Gaza.

But only one warrior can claim the city.

Babylon is the fourth book in a huge, brutal and bloodthirsty series about the fight to regain Alexander the Great's empire after his untimely death. Let the battles begin...

Reviews for Babylon: 'Truly epic' Conn Iggulden

The locations and characters are truly epic - this may be the greatest tale of the ancient world. Terrific series. Scene by scene, I grew to love these characters. Fabbri has captured darkness in a bottle here. This series unfolds old maps, beats an ancient drum. Hugely enjoyable. -- Conn Iggulden * bestselling author of Protector on An Empty Throne * Dark politics, wit and action... * The Times on To The Strongest * An excellent new series by the consistently brilliant Robert Fabbri * Sunday Sport on To the Strongest * A powerful retelling of one of the most dramatic events in ancient history. * Nick Rennison, BBC History, on Arminius * Powerfully chilling, detailed and dramatic. * Express Online on Arminius * An epic, brutal, and blood-thirsty journey. * Sunday Post on the Vespasian series * Stuffed with political deviousness. * Jon Wise, Sunday Sport, on the Vespasian Series * Gripping... incredibly well researched, detailed and historically accurate...
