Spartacus The Gladiato

Little is historically known about Spartacus. Originating from Thrace, north of Greece, he once served in the Roman legions. For two extraordinary years, he led a slave uprising that nearly toppled Rome. In Ben Kane’s compelling novel, Spartacus returns to Thrace, hoping for peace after ten years away. However, a ruthless new king has seized power, captures Spartacus, and sells him to a Roman slave trader seeking gladiators. This marks the beginning of his journey to becoming a legendary figure—an icon for revolutionaries like Karl Marx and Che Guevara—captured in Kane’s bestselling novel, which continues in Spartacus: Rebellion.
