Author Steven Saylor continues his story of Imperial Rome begun in "Roma" with this novel, "Empire". He continues to follow the Pinarii family, their ups and downs, triumphs and tragedies through the rule of various emperors of Rome.
Saylor has researched the history well in order to tell the story of Rome. For those who enjoy historical fiction, this is a good read. For those who have been to Rome, you can follow the people of this novel in your mind's eye as they travel throughout the ancient city of Rome. The novel ends at the death of Hadrian; I am hoping that there will be a further sequel to this series.
