Book SynopsisThe long-awaited final volume of the Cicero Trilogy, from the beloved bestselling author of Conclave who is “incapable of writing an unenjoyable book”—The Wall Street JournalA Best Book of the Year: The Guardian, The Sunday Times (London), The Mail on Sunday, The Spectator, BBC History Magazine, Metro, and The Herald (Glasgow)At the age of forty-eight, Cicero—the greatest orator of his time—is in exile, his power sacrificed on the altar of his principles. The only way to return to Rome is to pledge his support to a charismatic and dangerous enemy: Julius Caesar. Harnessing his political cunning, unrivalled intellect, and the sheer brilliance of his words, Cicero fights his way back to prominence. Yet no public figure is completely safeguarded against the unscrupulous ambition of others. Riveting and tumultuous, Dictator encompasses the most epic events in ancient history, including the collapse of the Roman Republic, the murder of Pompey, and the assassination of Caesar. But its central question is a timeless one: how to keep political freedom unsullied by personal gain, vested interests, and the corrosive effects of ceaseless foreign wars. In Robert Harris’s indelible portrait, Cicero is a deeply fascinating hero for his own time and for ours.

Anyone familiar with Mary Shelley's Dr Frankenstein will recognise the genre of the oddball genius consumed by his own creation - populist fiction at its best. * Spectator *I would recommend The Fear Index, the new novel by Robert Harris that delves into the world of modern finance. The writing is as elegant as ever * Financial Times *Robert Harris is renowned for his historical novels, although his eighth offering, The Fear Index, could hardly be more contemporary and relevant . . . Harris writes with a deceptively languid elegance, so that the novel straddles not only the crime and sci-fi genres but also that of literary fiction. A satisfying read on a number of levels, it is strongest as a character study of a man who discovers, pace Hemingway, the true meaning of the phrase "grace under pressure". * Irish Times *Robert Harris's eighth novel is a timely blockbuster of a thriller that takes the global financial meltdown as its backdrop, with nods to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein . . . An assuredly intelligent and deftly-paced novel, the fear of the protagonist is increasingly palpable as he's buffeted by genuinely unexpected spine-chilling twists. Perhaps the greatest thriller writer around, Harris has delivered his best work yet. A modern classic. * Irish Examiner *

But they are ambitious. And they have rivals. Over the next 72 hours, one of them will become the most powerful spiritual figure on earth. Who will it be?'Unputdownable' Guardian'Gripping' Sunday TimesTrade ReviewHarris’ superlative skill at depicting power politics makes this an irresistibly gripping papal page-turner. * Sunday Times, BOOKS OF THE YEAR *Thriller of the year . . . with a plot so serpentine and sinuous that I could not bear to put it down. * Daily Mail BOOKS OF THE YEAR *‘I have been waiting for most of my life for Robert Harris to write a novel that is not gripping, insightful and entertaining. I am waiting still. His latest, Conclave, is superb. * The Times BOOKS OF THE YEAR *A real page-turner, with a great twist in the final pages. * The Times BOOKS OF THE YEAR *Finishing this splendid and intelligent story, as with all great fiction, brings an acute sense of loss. * The Times BOOKS OF THE YEAR *Robert Harris is incapable of writing a substandard novel. * Observer, BOOKS OF THE YEAR *Each Robert Harris thriller is different but of exemplary consistency. * Mirror BOOKS OF THE YEAR *Robert Harris is the master storyteller of our time . . . Beautifully constructed . . . it’s dramatically compelling, politically intelligent, beautifully paced and with a lovely twist in the tail . . . narrative doesn’t come better than this. * Scotsman BOOKS OF THE YEAR *I am about to use a word I have never knowingly used in any review of any book ever. During my 25-odd years of writing about books I have done my best to avoid cliches, slipshod summaries, oracular pronouncements and indeed anything else that might appear emblazoned on a book jacket. Nonetheless, there is only one possible word to describe Robert Harris’s new novel, and it is this: unputdownable * Guardian *A master of producing thrillers of ever-tightening suspense, full of insider analysis of political power and the treatment of momentous events . . . gripping . . . more than a crime novel, it is also a psychological and political thriller . . . Conclave is a triumphant addition to Harris’ acclaimed output * Sunday Times *Gripping . . . like an ecclesiastical version of House of Cards * The Times *Well-researched, intelligently observed and highly credible . . . Fast-moving and suspenseful, it’s elegantly written entertainment from a first-rate storyteller. * Mail on Sunday *Grips like a vice and manages to convey all the drama of an election without resorting to melodrama * Sunday Express *An electric read, like a shot of adrenalin to the heart . . . rollicking and literate . . . an insightful and witty thriller * Literary Review *Page-turning heaven * Independent *

Book SynopsisUna sofocante semana a finales de agosto del año 79 d.C. Qué mejor lugar para pasar los últimos días del verano...Una sofocante semana a finales de agosto del año 79 d.C. Qué mejor lugar para pasar los últimos días del verano que la bahía de Nápoles? A lo largo de toda la costa, los ciudadanos más ricos del imperio se relajan en sus lujosas villas, la flota más poderosa delmundo descansa pacíficamente fondeada en Miseno y los visitantes gastan su dinero en las localidades de Herculano y Pompeya. Solo un hombre parece preocupado. El ingeniero Marco Atilio Primo acaba de hacerse cargo del Aqua Augusta, el enorme acueducto que suministra agua potable al cuarto de millón de habitantes de las nueve ciudades de la bahía de Nápoles y, por primera vez desde hace generaciones, los manantiales se están secando. Su predecesor ha desaparecido y hay un problema en algún punto de los noventa kilómetros de la conducción principal, al norte de Pompeya. Justamente en las faldas del Vesubio. Atilio -responsable, respetable, práctico, incorruptible- asegura a Plinio, comandante de la flota imperial y famoso erudito, que puede reparar el acueducto antes de que los depósitos de reserva se queden sin agua. Pero mientras se encamina hacia el Vesubio, se dispone a descubrir que hay fuerzas que ni el imperio más grande del mundo puede detener... Una obra de ficción en un contexto de suave misterio y de hechos históricos, sólidamente trenzados.El Periódico
