***PRE-ORDER THE SPECIAL COLLECTOR'S EDITION OF PRECIPICE, THE THRILLING NEW NOVEL FROM ROBERT HARRIS, NOW. PUBLISHING AUGUST 2024, AVAILABLE ONLY WHILE STOCK LASTS AND EXCLUSIVE TO THE FIRST PRINT RUN*** 'A pulse-rate-speeding masterpiece' Sunday Times 'A stunning novel . . . the subtlety and power of its construction holds our attention to the end' The Times During a sweltering week in late August, as Rome's richest citizens relax in their villas around Pompeii and Herculaneum, there are ominous warnings that something is going wrong. Wells and springs are failing, a man has disappeared, and now the greatest aqueduct in the world - the mighty Aqua Augusta - has suddenly ceased to flow . . . Through the eyes of four characters - a young engineer, an adolescent girl, a corrupt millionaire and an elderly scientist - Robert Harris brilliantly recreates a luxurious world on the brink of destruction. 'As explosive as Etna, as addictive as a thriller, as satisfying as great history' Daily Telegraph

Harris is a writer of integrity who does not seek refuge in postmodernist nonsense...He knows how to tell a story and achieves page-turningreadability without effort. * Frank McLynn, Daily Express * Explosive stuff, indeed - and, yes, it goes with a bang. * Tom Holland, Daily Telegraph * The depth of research in this book is staggering...Pompeii is indeed a blazing blockbuster. * Simon Brett, Daily Mail * It is hard to imagine a more thorough-goingly enjoyable thriller read * The Sunday Times * Harris had me imaginatively surrounded. I am lost in admiration at his energy and skill * Boris Johnson, Mail on Sunday *
