Conn Iggulden Emperor Series, 5 Books Collection Pack Set RRP: £40.95 (The Gods of War, The Gates of Rome, The Death of Kings, The Field of Swords,The Blood of Gods)

Fantastic set of books.

Reading the first of the series and as usual Iggulden does not disappoint. Good bedtime reading. All such novels tend to be formulaic, but this is an engaging tale and bodes well for the others. The underlying research into the historical context supports the storyline very well. Historical novels are apparently a diminishing market but as a form of escapism from modern 'civilisation' they do a good job.

Very good

Don't doubt it, you'll love the Emperor Series! Altho I was thinking between 4 or 5 starts, I decided to give 5/5. The only reason - I feel like there could be a bit more with and around Mark Anthony as he's one of the Romans I like the most, so it's just on a personal taste matter. Other than that the Series are great! Yes, the first book may start a bit slow for some of you, if you are into fast action, but if you love the step-by-step build up of the characters you won't have any regret about it. Then from book 2 to 5 it's so much action and simply so, so good! The way Caesar, Brutus and Octavian are presented is simple perfection. ps - Just don't compare the books with the Rome TV Series, I didn't want to do so, but my mind somehow kept doing it while I was reading the first 2 books and found myself a bit disappointed in the difference in some of the characters. Both are great, but on their own!

Excellent service and quality items superb all around experience ty

Not much to say about the books, excellent written, good story. But the print is very (very) small, that should be indicated. If I had known I wouldn't have bought these.

One of the best book series I’ve ever read. Fantastic value for money to get all of these books for this price. Very pleased!

Excellent buy.

All good, except for one book which slightly torn cover

Books arrived iahead of the proposed time, Book purchased as a Christmas present

Ya había leído el primer libro y decidí comprar el resto. Este set incluye el primer libro, pero me salió más barato comprarlo como pack que comprar cada libro por separado. Si hay alguna queja, es que la letra es más pequeña que la del Libro N°1 que compré.

Nice series

I bought it cause I utterly enjoyed his War of the Roses series. But Emperor...well, the fact that he made Brutus the son pf a whore and Caesar's same age just didn't cut it for me. And he also never explained why. Too bad.
