Book Log 2006 #66: Imperium by Robert Harris

The first book in a planned trilogy on the life of Cicero, written as the lost biography of the man by Tiro, his secretary. It's less of a thriller than his other books, but no less dramatic given the perils of Roman politics that Cicero traverses on his quest to become consul. I don't think it's as good as some of Harris's earlier books, but it's still pretty good.
