Gordianus the Finder is happily retired, spending his time drinking with Cinna, a poet, and enjoying his family and his garden. But soon his calm life is interrupted, when first Cicero and then Julius Caesar himself ask him to investigate the possibility that someone might be conspiring to assassinate Caesar. The latter is preparing for another journey of conquest, which he plans to undertake in about a week, just after the Ides of March…. In his end notes, Mr. Saylor points out that there was always going to come a time in his long-running Gordianus the Finder series when he would have to deal with the death of Caesar, and how he managed to avoid doing so for some years by writing stories of Gordianus’s youth. (I don’t think I’m giving anything away by mentioning Caesar’s death here; after all, in what other context does one ever use the term “the Ides of March�) As ever, "The Throne of Caesar" is well researched and beautifully written; the reader can practically hear and smell ancient Rome about about one while reading it. It isn’t entirely necessary to have read the previous books in the series to enjoy this one, but the reader will certainly want to discover those earlier books too, after finishing this. Recommended!
As the author says in his afterword, he finally got a handle on how to make a murder mystery out of the most famous (and least mysterious) murder of all time. Another fine episode of the Sub Rosa series.The author hints that this is the conclusion to the story of Gordanius, and certainly brings down (and around) the curtin in fine style.But he also gives us an out with his daughter (and her Baby Huey of a husband) to carry on in the family business. So Steven, if you want Diana to be Archie Goodwin to Grandpa's Nero [Wolfe], I am ready to pre-order.
While this installment of the Gordianus story does not have the action and intensity of the previous novels, it delves deeply and deftly into Roman life. One always feels present on the “fragrant†streets of Ancient Rome when reading Saylor - such is his power as an author. I enjoyed this book as much as any of the prior installments.I hope the Gordianus story does not end here - and that Diana picks up where her father left off.
In THE THRONE OF CAESAR, Gordianus the Finder faces one of the most difficult challenges in his career: to learn whether there’a a plot to kill Julius Caesar so it can be nipped in the bud. Author Steven Saylor faces a task that’s equally daunting: to make readers care about a murder mystery in which most of them already know what’s going to happen.Alas, Gordianus doesn’t succeed at his task. Saylor, however, does extremely well at his.Accompanied by his drinking pal, the poet Cinna, Gordianus grapples with a side issue: Caesar’s promise to propose him for the Senate on the Ides of March. The Finder’s giddy exhilaration humanizes him as he searches for a new toga, while his family adjusts to the overwhelming boost in social class. Cinna comes alive, too, his faux modesty hiding an artistic yearning to be acclaimed for his ambitious (if somewhat creepy) poem along the lines of Ovid’s Metamorphoses.The ensuing plot twists will startle you if you think you know everything about events on the Ides. You may figure out a little sooner than Gordianus does what actually happened, but maybe the author wants to emphasize its scandalousness. I would add that one aspect of a related tragedy seems a bit far-fetched. However, that – as Cinna might say – makes it truly poetic justice.
What happened to Julius Caesar on the Ides of March is—or at least used to be—common knowledge. Likely readers of Steven Saylor’s Sub Rosa series will know all the details too, many from Shakespeare’s familiar treatment of the story: "Et tu, Brute?" As Saylor acknowledges in an entertaining Author’s Note, turning this notorious assassination into a mystery poses quite a dilemma.But his gamble pays off handsomely in “Throne of Caesar." As narrated by Gordianus, events unfurl at a pace suited to a finder in his mid-sixties following up on a request from Caesar himself to discover whether men on a list he provides pose a threat. Gordianus’s investigation strays into matters as disparate as finding a decent toga for a new senator and appreciating the achievements of the poet Cinna. Indeed, for three quarters of its length, the book seems more history than mystery. But that’s the set up and nothing, it turns out, is irrelevant.The prose is delightful from start to finish, every line confident and polished, every character purposeful and well drawn. I can imagine a slightly tighter version of the novel. But that’s a quibble. “Throne of Caesar†is a genuine accomplishment.
A murder within a murder. Unfortunately the book(s) arrived looking like someone had been eating lunch while packing them - plenty of stains and no padding to withstand the apparent shocks inflicted . Covers and pages were damaged. Packing tape was torn and numerous breaks in the cardboard box itself. IF you have read previous Gordianus books, this is somewhat tepid but then the protagonist is getting on in years AND the principal murder is a well known one. Everyone should know the murderers, and the accepted story. There is another murder hidden within the events surrounding the principal murder but it is quickly resolved - the clues are there but requires a "deus ex machina" or perhaps "A apparatus exspiravit" to come to the forefront of Gordianus's mind, given the events of the Ides of March. A necessary sequel to "The Judgement of Caesar" and "The Triumph of Caesar" and perhaps the beginning of a new series.
