A publisher's edition, but for some reason in a Book Club issued jacket (same as publisher's edition, quite common with this book). Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners bruised, some yellowing to page block, not price clipped (no price), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and almost square, overall a vg copy for its age. 878pp, map and chronology endpapers. The third volume in McCullough's acclaimed 'Masters of Rome' series of historical novels. By Australian author Colleen McCullough (1937-2015). Rome, 83 BC. The Republic is disintegrating. Ravaged by disease, tormented by vice, Lucius Cornelius Sulla has returned from exile determined to rebuild it, even if it means taking battle to the very walls of Rome and purging the city with blood. There will be deaths without number or limit, but amid the chaos, three infinitely ambitious young Romans vie for greatness. The young wolves are Pompeius Magnus, Marcus Licinius Crassus and the man the world will one day know by just one name Caesar. Together they are Fortune's favourites, an endorsement that will prove as much a blessing as a curse. A large heavy book, extra postage may be required. Seller Inventory # 010591
