First Man in Rome by Colleen Mccullough

First Man in Rome by Colleen Mccullough

With extraordinary narrative power, New York Times bestselling author Colleen McCullough sweeps the reader into a whirlpool of pageantry and passion, bringing to vivid life the most glorious epoch in human history.

When the world cowered before the legions of Rome, two extraordinary men dreamed of personal glory: the military genius and wealthy rural upstart Marius, and Sulla, penniless and debauched but of aristocratic birth. Men of exceptional vision, courage, cunning, and ruthless ambition, separately they faced the insurmountable opposition of powerful, vindictive foes. Yet allied they could answer the treachery of rivals, lovers, enemy generals, and senatorial vipers with intricate and merciless machinations of their own--to achieve in the end a bloody and splendid foretold destiny . . . and win the most coveted honor the Republic could bestow.

Colleen McCullough AO (1937-2015) was one of Australia's best loved and most successful novelists. After a career in medical and scientific research in the 1960s and 1970s, McCullough published her first novel, Tim, in 1974. She went on to publish 20 novels and in 2010 wrote the libretto for a musical adaptation of her novel Morgan's Run. She completed Water is Life in 2011 as a gift to her friend Michael Crouch.
