Colossus: The Four Emperors, Blixt David

For one family, Neros whims mean either promotion or destruction. While his uncle Vespasian goes off to put down a rebellion in Judea, Titus Flavius Sabinus struggles to walk the perilous line between success and notoriety as he climbs Romes ladder. When Nero is impaled on his own artistry, the whole world is thrown into chaos and Sabinus must navigate shifting allegiances and murderous alliances as his family tries to survive the year of the Four Emperors.

This second novel in the Colossus series brings the tumultuous events of 69 A.D. to life, as Blixt explores the destruction of temples, the merging of religions, and the origins of Christianity as a political force.
