Spartacus and his ragtag army take on the mighty Roman army in Ben Kane's brilliant recreation of one of the best-known epics of the modern era

Spartacus has already done the impossible--not only has he escaped from slavery, he and his seconds have created a mighty slave army that has challenged Rome and defeated the armies of three praetors, two consuls, and one proconsul. On the plain of the River Po, in modern Northern Italy, Spartacus has defeated Gaius Cassius Longinus, proconsul and general of an army of two legions. Now the road home lies before them--to Thrace for Spartacus, and to Gaul for his seconds-in-command, Castus and Gannicus.

But storm clouds are gathering on the horizon. One of Spartacus's most powerful generals has defected, taking his men with him. Back in Rome, the immensely rich Marcus Licinius Crassus is gathering an unheard-of Army. The Senate has given Crassus an army made up of ten legions and the authority to do whatever it takes to end the slave rebellion once and for all.

Meanwhile, Spartacus wants to lead his men over the Alps and home, but his two seconds have a different plan. They want to march on Rome itself and bring the Republic to its knees. Rebellion has become war. War to the death.

Review

"The parts heaviest on sex and violence are also the most enjoyable, including a sequence where Spartacus' general Navio visits a brothel on a spying mission, gets charged by Romans at the most inopportune time and has to escape through a dung heap." --Kirkus Reviews

'History is more than facts on a pages. It's the sounds, the smells, the people, the passion. History should make you think: "I was there."
My books are born from my obsession with Roman history. I've followed Spartacus' trail across Italy. I've stood at Cannae and imagined Hannibal's army meeting the massed legions of Rome. I've watched the sea lapping against the fortifications of Syracuse, which were besieged by the Romans for almost two years. I've walked Hadrian's Wall in full Roman military dress, including hobnailed boots.
Immerse yourself in these incredible stories and - like me - remind yourself why the legend of Rome endures.' - Ben Kane
'Who is the rising star of historical fiction? I say Ben Kane.' - WILBUR SMITH

The main picture of Ben in Roman kit, on Hadrian's Wall, was taken by North News & Pictures.
Yes, that IS Ian McKellen in the second pic - he was generous enough to do the voice over the movie that we had made of our second charity walk, in 2014, during which we raised over $40,000 for charity.
The third picture is of me and my co-Roman authors and walkers, Anthony Riches and Russell Whitfield, on Hadrian's Wall in 2013. Taken by Dr Mike Bishop.

A Superb Spartacus Conclusion!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 November 2021

Verified Purchase

Read this book in 2012, and its the 2nd and final volume of the spectacular Spartacus mini-series.

In this book that will end in the year 71 BC, we see Spartacus and his army of slaves and rebels marching victorious all over the Roman Republic.

After having defeated three praetors, two consuls, and one proconsul, Spartacus and his army are heading towards the Alps and freedom.

Arriving at the Alps, storm clouds are gathering, and during this time of indecision, several groups will mutiny from this army of slaves, and one of these is the Gaul Crixus who will defect to Gaul, and taking all his men from Gaul with him, and so diminishing Spartacus's army of rebels.

Within the rebel slave army of Spartacus dissent is brewing, especially when it becomes known that Crassus, the richest man in Rome, is raising a most formidable army himself to protect Rome and take the fight and war to Spartacus.

Spartacus will have to make an ultimate decision on what to do, and when he does, instead of crossing the Alps and freedom, he will take on Crassus in an attempt to destroy Rome's stranglehold on power, once and for all.

What is to follow is a last stand by Spartacus against the forces erected by Crassus, and in this bloody conflict not only Rome's future will be decided, but most importantly it will tell the legendary Spartacus's heroic end and the consequences that will ensue for his fellow slave fighters all the way to Rome.

Highly recommended, for this is a spectacular finish of this amazing mini-series, and that's why I like to call this final episode: "A Superb Spartacus Conclusion"!

Another winner from Ben Kane

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 May 2020

This is the sequel to Ben Kane’s Spartacus: The Gladiator, which I read a few months ago. Although I’ve been reading Ben Kane for a few years, I avoided these two books because I’ve seen the Stanley Kubrick film umpteen times and I thought Spartacus was Kirk Douglas and Kirk Douglas was Spartacus. However, I was wrong, as Ben has created a new Spartacus, historically believable and very different from the Kirk Douglas character. We also have a Crassus who is not a Laurence Olivier clone, but is entirely Ben’s creation though based closely on what we know of the historical Crassus (a man with a vast amount of wealth and a private fire brigade). I won’t go into the plot. You may think you know the story, but Ben certainly doesn’t follow the film. Rather, he has created two very good novels out of the patchy accounts of the Spartacus rebellion that survive from antiquity. You may know how it all ends, but it is worth reading these novels for the journey rather than the destination.
As usual Ben creates a host of credible supporting characters, and the ones who need three dimensions generally get them). These include a partner for Spartacus, Ariadne, a priestess of Dionysus, and an assortment of Romans, Thracians, Gauls and Scythians. Ben’s meticulous research means he gets the facts right about a wide range of national/ethnic groups in terms of dress, weaponry, customs and religions. The fight scenes are terrifyingly good, but he doesn’t overdo the violence or the general concoction of ancient military stuff, such as drinking and whoring. In this novel we get some other aspects of ancient life, such as childbirth, animal sacrifice and marital harmony and disharmony. Great stuff!

Another magnificent book from the master of Roman fiction.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2016

Verified Purchase

Ben Kane weaves together a truly plausible and highly believable novel following the path of Spartacus from what little historical facts remain of this enigmatic leader. None of us will ever know what drove the man to act as he did but Ben delivers a story that goes someway to answering some of the questions that remain. Ben shows Spartacus as being as complex as most of us are. One moment he is quite compassionate, the next he is as cold and calculating as they come and committing acts that are repulsive to our modern mind. These two books are as close as we are ever likely to come to knowing Spartacus and I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in finding out more about this elusive character.

great story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 July 2016

Verified Purchase

This book wraps up the story nicely from the first book Spartacus: Gladiator. Once again you follow the story of Spartacus as he, his family and his army are battling against the Roman armies that are sent against them. The five leaders of the army are constantly at conflict as to what to do and they have to either stay banded together united and strong or to go their separate ways and forge their own paths. This completes the story of Spartacus and follows him as he forges ahead to try and conquer Rome itself.

Story could have been told in one book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 June 2018

Verified Purchase

the book was a fairly good read but I felt that this story could have been told in one book only. Spartacus: Rebellion (Spartacus 2) picked up the story from Spartacus 1 but I found it was a bit slow as though the author had to add a fair amount of filler in order to complete a novel sized book. However readers having read Spartacus 1 had little choice but to buy the second book if only to complete the story. In my view it would seem that someone has made a bit of extra cash in turning this story into two books when one would have sufficed!!
