This is the third book in the series of four and continues at tremendous pace. Caesar is posted to Spain by his political rivals who, rightly, see him as a threat.
He is successful in his Iberian adventure, but returns to Rome in time for the consular elections. Following his election to high office, the means of which is highly amusing, he cannot sit still for long and soon leaves Crassus and Pompey in charge so that he can take his armies to Gaul to spread the benefits of the Roman culture. Eventually, he makes it into Britain, but that ambitious move is just a stretch too far for the already extended Roman armies.
Many new characters are introduced in this book, both friends an enemies. Some of these are destined to become very influential in the close circle that forms around the most powerful man in Europe of that time. Brutus starts to become dangerously jealous whenever Caesar shows any favour to others, such as Mark Anthony. You can see where it's headed as the story steams at full speed towards the fourth, and final, book!"
"Another captivating book by Iggulden! The Field of Swords is the 3rd book of the Emperor Series. It explores the triumvirate of Julius, Pompey and Crassus and Julius' conquests in Gaul. Tad repetitive at times but still a very enjoyable read. I can't wait to read the last book of the series!"
"With two novels behind him, Iggulden is definitely into his stride by now as he writes this. It was just as action-packed and entertaining, but the prose was much less blocky and the technical use of language much better. I'm glad that the violence was toned down as well: I felt like the violence and brutality in the first two books was mindless at times and it often hampered my enjoyment."
