The soldiers are Roman legionaries. And their quarry is a band of pirates who dared to kidnap Julius Caesar for ransom. Now, as Caesar exacts his revenge and builds a legend far from Rome, his friend Marcus Brutus is fighting battles of another sort, rising to power in the wake of the assassination of a dictator. Once Brutus and Caesar were as close as brothers, devoted to the same ideals and attracted to the same forbidden woman. Now they will be united again by a shock wave from the north, where a gladiator named Spartacus is building an army of seventy thousand slaves—to fight a cataclysmic battle against Rome itself.","brand":"Random House Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011063202032,"sku":"9780385343022","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780385343022_p0.jpg?v=1763694517","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780385343022","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
