From the library of Anne Rice, with a letter of provenance, on Harry Sidebottom's letterhead introducing Rice to the novel, tucked between the pages. An uncorrected proof, with a clean interior with no markings. Softcover with trace signs of shelf wear. Tightly bound. Clean spine with no discoloration or wrinkling. A lovely gift for a fan of historical fiction or Anne Rice's writings. Writer Harry Sidebottom completed his Master's thesis on Herodian, with a special interest in the years AD 235-238. He returned to this interest in "Throne of the Caesars" with "Iron & Rust" as Book I of the series. In a 2014 interview with Parmenion Books, Sidebottom discussed the pleasure found in the challenging differences of ancient customs, laws and morality that are so strange to modern times: "Mary Renault was right when she said something on the lines of the pleasure of reading and writing historical fiction comes from the tension between what is universal to humanity and what is specific to a time and place. In some ways the Romans were much like us, but in others completely alien." Anne Rice was no stranger to the history of the Roman world.

‘An amazing story of bloodlust, ruthless ambition and revenge’ The Times
From the bestselling author of WARRIOR OF ROME comes the first book in a new series set in third century Rome; a dramatic era of murder, coup, counter-rebellions and civil war.
In a single year six Emperors will lay claim to the Throne of the Caesars…
SPRING AD235
Dawn on the Rhine. A surprise attack and the brutal murder of the Emperor Alexander and his mother ends the Severan dynasty and shatters four decades of Roman certainty.
Military hero Maximinus Thrax is the first Caesar risen from the barracks. A simple man of steel and violence, he will fight for Rome.
The Senators praise the new Emperor with elaborate oratory, but will any of them accept a Caesar who was once a shepherd boy? And in the streets of the eternal city, others merely pray to escape imperial notice.
In the north, as the merciless war against the barbarians consumes men and treasure, rebellion and personal tragedy drive Maximinus to desperate extremes, bloody revenge and the borders of sanity.
Iron & Rust, the first book in a major new series, creates a world both sophisticated and brutal, yet firmly rooted in history; a world of intrigue, murder, passion and war, a world where men will kill to sit on the Throne of the Caesars.
