Items related to The Risen: A Novel of Spartacus
It is one of the most storied uprisings of classical times. Spartacus, the visionary captive and gladiator, used his toughness and charisma turn a prison break into a revolt that would threaten the Roman empire. Now, with verve and intelligence, David Anthony Durham brings us a thrilling retelling that gives voice not only to Spartacus himself, but also Astera, Spartacus's oracle consort; Nonus, a Roman soldier working both sides of the conflict; Laelia and Hustus, two slave children drawn into the ranks of the rebellion; Kaleb, secretary to the Roman senator and commander saddled with the task of quashing the insurrection; and many others in a vast spectacle of bloodshed, heroism, and treachery.

Review:
"David Anthony Durham never disappoints." --George R.R. Martin "Full of blood, thunder and excitement.... No doubt there will be other novels about Spartacus, even though one may think that Mr. Durham has made any unnecessary." --Alan Massie, author of Caligula and Augustus "Monumental in scale and rich in intimately portrayed characters, Durham's brilliant rendering of slavery and the horrors of war gives the novel its emotional impact." --Publishers Weekly
"Rousing. . . . [A] lightness of touch keeps the story moving at a steady pace toward its inevitable end." --Kirkus Reviews
