Synopsis
Colleen McCullough continues her fascination with Julius Caesar in THE OCTOBER HORSE, her sixth book in the series. Caesar is riding high: he is a widely respected leader whose power is invincible, and Cleopatra is his mistress. But Brutus is hatching his plot, and Octavian is working behind the scenes, and Mark Antony is beginning his charismatic conquest of Caesar's enemies: the seeds are being sown for Caesar's downfall and the beginning of climactic change in Rome.

Industry Reviews
[A]n intelligent page-turning epic that seamlessly mixes love, gore, and ambition....A rousing and richly satisfying take on some of history's real beings."
Kirkus Reviews (10/01/2002)
"Reading a historical novel...we expect the surface detail to be accurate (things like dress, food, or political institutions). At this level, Colleen McCullough does not score too badly....Assessing this novel...entails answering the most persistent questions it raises: 'why is it 792 pages long?'....A fat paperback, THE OCTOBER HORSE is a book for holiday reading only."
Times Literary Supplement - Harry Sidebottom (01/24/2003)
