"Laws are silent in times of war." (Cicero). There was a time when
Cicero held Caesar's life in the palm of his hand. But now Caesar
is the dominant figure and Cicero's life is in ruins. Exiled,
separated from his wife and children, his possessions confiscated,
his life constantly in danger, Cicero is tormented by the knowledge
that he has sacrificed power for the sake of his principles. His
comeback requires wit, skill and courage - and for a brief and
glorious period, the legendary orator is once more the supreme
senator in Rome. But politics is never static and no statesman,
however cunning, can safeguard against the ambition and corruption
of others. Riveting and tumultuous, DICTATOR encompasses some of
the most epic events in human history yet is also an intimate
portrait of a brilliant, flawed, frequently fearful yet ultimately
brave man - a hero for his time and for ours. This is an
unforgettable tour de force from a master storyteller.
