Claudius: Roman Emperor - Conqueror of Britain Book Description Claudius fights for victory. Caratacus is for his freedom. An epic war begins that will change the course of history. In Southern Britain, Caratacus, the leader of the British, watches from a hill as the red cloaks of the Roman army spread across his country like blood. In Rome, Emperor Claudius dreams of winning an absolute victory and writing his name proudly on the pages of history alongside his famous ancestors Caesar and Augustus. Among the legionnaires walks Rufus, the caretaker of the emperor's elephant. War is looming, and the tribes of Britain are desperately uniting, leaving all their disagreements behind in their fight for freedom against the might of Rome. In this relentless war, the emperor has a very special mission for Rufus and his elephant. Whose side will the Gods be on in this war that will be written in history and where heroes will be created? Claudius, the new novel by Douglas Jackson, one of the most successful writers of historical novels, has hit the shelves. In the novel, which tells the story of Roman Emperor Claudius, who conquered British territory in 43 AD and wanted to write his name in history, Caratacus, the brave leader of Britain, struggles at least as heroically. Claudius, a meticulously constructed epic narrative about ambition, courage, heroism, sacrifice, conspiracy and war, is a gripping novel with never-ending excitement, tension and action.
