TRIBUNE OF ROME: VESPASIAN I

Book ID/图书代码： 12100011B48258

English Summary/英文概要： ONE MAN: ONE DESTINY 26 AD: Sixteen-year-old Vespasian leaves his family farm for Rome, his sights set on finding a patron and following his brother into the army. But he discovers a city in turmoil and an Empire on the brink. The aging emperor Tiberius is in seclusion on Capri, leaving Rome in the iron grip of Sejanus, commander of the Praetorian Guard. Sejanus is ruler of the Empire in all but name, but many fear that isn’t enough for him. Sejanus’ spies are everywhere - careless words at a dinner party can be as dangerous as a barbarian arrow. Vespasian is totally out of his depth, making dangerous enemies (and even more dangerous friends - like the young Caligula) and soon finds himself ensnared in a conspiracy against Tiberius. With the situation in Rome deteriorating, Vespasian flees the city to take up his position as tribune in an unfashionable legion on the Balkan frontier. Unblooded and inexperienced, he must lead his men in savage battle with hostile mountain tribes - dangerous enough without renegade Praetorians and Imperial agents trying to kill him too. Somehow, he must survive long enough to uncover the identity of the traitors behind the growing revolt

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 16岁的维斯巴西安（Vespasian）撇下祖传的农场来到罗马。此行他是想找到一个赞助人，然后跟着哥哥参军。但是，他看出这座城市即将陷入荒乱，帝国岌岌可危。年老的国王却独自躲了起来，把国家安危交给了塞加纳斯（Sejanus）将军。将军于是成了帝国统治者，还改了名字。但是他的敌人无处不在，一不小心说漏嘴就会很危险。维斯巴西安聪明有加，令人信服，却没想到自己会卷入一个阴谋之中。情况越来越危急，维斯巴西安搬回旧兵，浴血奋战。别担心，他不会死的，他还要揭露叛国者的身份呢。(兼职翻译-XJJ)

Awards/获奖情况：Whenever I see a debut book form an author who’s obvious agenda is to target the Scarrow’s "Macro and Cato" series which are such good fun, I always have to remember that they’re never going to make the grade. After reading Fabbri’s debut novel today I can honestly say it was fantastic. Detailed, entertaining, atmospheric and with the usual epic battle scenes this really is a novel that feels like it should have been screened as part of HBO’s Rome series which was a masterpiece and stunningly entertaining. There’s little point in summarizing the storyline as you can read that for yourself in the product description. All I can say is, if you’re a fan of Roman historical fiction this is an absolute must! Buy it, you won’t be disappointed and although this novel won’t change the world, you’ll certainly end up fully immersed in the Roman legions for a few hours!
