Alex Gough is an author of Roman historical adventures, and has a decades-long interest in Ancient Roman history. His first seriesThe Carbo Chronicles (including Watchmen of Rome, Bandits of Rome and the short story collection, Carbo and the Thief) was the culmination of a lot of research into the underclasses of Ancient Rome. His second series, The Imperial Assassin, is set in the reign of the Severan dynasty, an under-examined period of Roman history. His latest series is based on the larger-than-life character of Mark Antony, the warrior, the commander, the politician and the lover. Alex would love to interact with readers, and you can follow him on twitter @romanfiction, like Alex Gough Author on facebook, or visit his website for reviews of roman fiction and articles about Roman history: www.romanfiction.com

'A tour de force from a master of Roman fiction.' Gordon Doherty [received 14/03/2023 via email to HT]'I thoroughly enjoyed Caesar’s Soldier - a fascinating account of a complex and compelling man who was so very much more than “...and Cleopatra”.' Ruth Downie [received 19/03/2023 via email to HT]'Another thrilling Roman read from Alex Gough, sparkling with life.' Alison Morton [Received 19/03/2023 via email to HT]'Caesar’s Soldier puts flesh on the historical bones of Marcus Antonius, the MarK Antony of Shakespeare and Suetonius’s besotted lover of Cleopatra. This Antony is charming, licentious, dissolute, but also a master tactician, and above all dangerous. We follow him from his childhood as the son of a disgraced father and stepfather, through his early military career and two marriages to the defeat of Vercingetorix in Gaul by Caesar with Antony as his general. The first in a trilogy, Caesar’s Soldier leaves us eagerly awaiting the next volume.' Amanda Cockrell [received 20/03/2023 via email to KN]'Rarely has an author managed to so realistically evoke an era as Alex Gough in this riveting tale of the young Marc Antony as he moves from boyhood into a young adult with an eye on both politics and war. Rome teeters, Caesar rises, Antony shines. Roman fiction has a new master in Alex Gough.' S. J. A. Turney [received 14/04/2023 via email to HT]'A bold and exciting recreation of the Roman world.' Harry Sidebottom [Receieved 27/04/2023 via email to HT]'From treason and intrigue in Rome to ferocious battles in Judea, Britain and Gaul, and a fascinating glimpse of the Egypt of the Ptolemys and the young Cleopatra, Caesar's Soldier paints a vivid panorama of the world of the late Roman Republic, seen through the eyes of a man who would become one of the biggest and baddest political and military players of them all, Marcus Antonius. This is a compelling and admirably detailed opening act to what promises to be a truly epic saga.' Ian Ross [recieved 24/04/2023 via email to HT]
