I thoroughly enjoyed this classy thriller, the third in Morton's epic series set in Roma Nova, a breakaway Roman colony established in AD395, which has survived to the present day. The series came about because the author -- a self-confessed 'Ancient Roman nut'-- wondered what a modern Roman society run by women would look like. - Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller If there is a world where fiction becomes more believable than reality, then Alison Morton's ingenious thrillers must be the portal through which to travel. Following in Caesar's footsteps, she came with INCEPTIO, saw with PERFIDITAS - and has well and truly conquered with SUCCESSIO! - Helen Hollick, author and Managing Editor Historical Novel Society Indie Reviews Alison Morton has done it again - an intelligent, well-constructed thriller with gutsy characters. SUCCESSIO is the latest in her series of powerful tales of family betrayals and shifting allegiances in Roma Nova. Once again, I was gripped from start to finish. - Sue Cook, writer and broadcaster
