Summary:
Return to Ancient Rome – where politics, ambition, and greed collide in the fortunes of two fiercely powerful guys: Lucius Cornelius Sulla, the great general who results from exile to be installed as dictator, and then stuns Rome along with his startling self-imposed retirement; and Pompey, the youthful scion of an enormously powerful rural family, who determines to leapfrog over the traditional milestones to Roman politics pre-eminence at all necessary.
Passionate, ambitious, and bigger than about Fortune’s Preferred life, these males play out their fortunes against rebellious components in Spain, harmful rumblings in the East and the doomed slave revolt of the tragic figure Spartacus. But a larger threat to their place ever sold awaits – the fiery young warrior Julius Caesar, exploding right now into manhood, his priest’s robe shed in a most unexpected way. A newcomer to armed service glory as well as the Senate, he earns a formidable status as diplomat, lawyer and politician.
In interesting and unrivaled grandeur, Fortune’s Favorites sows the seeds of Caesar’s awful rivalry with Pompey, and pieces into motion the events that will finally enable him to tower over background for all time.
