Synopsis
We're back in the Roman Empire, and Marcus Attilius Primus, a Roman engineer, has been sent to Pompeii to work on the water supply. When the water suddenly stops running, Marcus tries to find out what happened, and the truth may involve high-level chicanery, corruption, and possibly a murder.

Industry Reviews
"A sophisticated thriller that takes in its stride the conventions of the historical novel, POMPEII deserves the place it will undoubtedly have at the top of the best-seller lists. It even makes Roman water-management sexy."
Times Literary Supplement - Harry Sidebottom (09/05/2003)
"Fast, fact-filled, and quite fun. A blast, really."
Kirkus Reviews (09/15/2003)
"...Harris's latest thriller is so cunningly devised that, however unsurprising its denouement is, it still manages to end with a bang."
New York Times Book Review - Daniel Mendelsohn (12/21/2003)
"...Harris garnishes the action with seductive period detail, and the novel comes alive in the main event, a cataclysmic explosion...."
New Yorker (12/22/2003)
