'The Book that really held me, in fact, obsessed me, was Rubicon . . . This is narrative history at its best. Bloody and labyrinthine political intrigue and struggle, brilliant oratory, amazing feats of conquest and cruelty' Ian McEwan, Books of the Year, Guardian 'Marvellously readable' Niall Ferguson The Roman Republic was the most remarkable state in history. What began as a small community of peasants camped among marshes and hills ended up ruling the known world. Rubicon paints a vivid portrait of the Republic at the climax of its greatness - the same greatness which would herald the catastrophe of its fall. It is a story of incomparable drama. This was the century of Julius Caesar, the gambler whose addiction to glory led him to the banks of the Rubicon, and beyond; of Cicero, whose defence of freedom would make him a byword for eloquence; of Spartacus, the slave who dared to challenge a superpower; of Cleopatra, the queen who did the same. Tom Holland brings to life this strange and unsettling civilization, with its extremes of ambition and self-sacrifice, bloodshed and desire. Yet alien as it was, the Republic still holds up a mirror to us. Its citizens were obsessed by celebrity chefs, all-night dancing and exotic pets; they fought elections in law courts and were addicted to spin; they toppled foreign tyrants in the name of self-defence. Two thousand years may have passed, but we remain the Romans' heirs.

The acclaimed investigative reporter and author of Confronting Collapse examines the global forces that led to 9/11 in this provocative exposé. The attacks of September 11, 2001 were accomplished through an amazing orchestration of logistics and personnel. Crossing the Rubicon examines how such a conspiracy was possible through an interdisciplinary analysis of petroleum, geopolitics, narco-traffic, intelligence and militarism—without which 9/11 cannot be understood. In reality, 9/11 and the resulting "War on Terror" are parts of a massive authoritarian response to an emerging economic crisis of unprecedented scale. Peak Oil—the beginning of the end for our industrial civilization—is driving the elites of American power to implement unthinkably draconian measures of repression, warfare and population control. Crossing the Rubicon is more than a story of corruption and greed. It is a map of the perilous terrain through which we are all now making our way.

A dramatic account of the fateful year leading to the ultimate crisis of the Roman Republic and the rise of Caesar’s autocracy When the Senate ordered Julius Caesar, conqueror of Gaul, to disband his troops, he instead marched his soldiers across the Rubicon River, in violation of Roman law. The Senate turned to its proconsul, Pompey the Great, for help. But Pompey’s response was unexpected: he commanded magistrates and senators to abandon Rome—a city that, until then, had always been defended. The consequences were the ultimate crisis of the Roman Republic and the rise of Caesar’s autocracy. In this new history, Luca Fezzi argues that Pompey’s actions sealed the Republic’s fate. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including Cicero’s extensive letters, Fezzi shows how Pompey’s decision shocked the Roman people, severely weakened the city, and set in motion a chain of events that allowed Caesar to take power. Seamlessly translated by Richard Dixon, this book casts fresh light on the dramatic events of this crucial moment in ancient Roman history.

RUBICON is the story foreshadowing the next September 11th attack; you want your government leaders to read before the next attack. RUBICON, a cybersecurity thriller, is an epic battle of good versus evil where Xander Ridge and Paul Ross are locked in a fight to control the ultimate cyberweapon —hospitals collapse —planes fall from the sky —power and communication grids collapse —financial markets and economies plummet —the fate of the world to hangs by a final thread on the precipice of Armageddon on the hope that Xander Ridge vanquishes Paul Ross. Imagine you awoke to sporadic power outages, traffic backing up behind failing traffic control lights, the trains stop, and a series of bizarre news podcasts sharing odd stories of chaotic financial markets and empty bank accounts. You roll over, snatch up your phone –the battery almost depleted, and check your bank account –your money is gone. Your stomach snarls and pits as the fear grips you. The phone goes dark. A sinister force helps Iranian agents avenge the assassination of General Soleimani by murdering American and British deep-cover spies and coordinates global cyber-attacks —leaving the world with one hope: Xander Ridge. Only Xander can stop Ross and his axis of evil. Paul Ross and his evil partners unleash hell with asymmetrical warfare, bringing the world to Hell's precipice. With the world on the precipice of Armageddon, the American President presses Ridge into service to defeat Paul Ross. Paul, jealous and spiteful of Xander's success, holds firm that he is the preeminent cyberweapon designer. Paul Ross will stop at nothing —to destroy Xander's life and business to steal Rubicon. Ross brings the fight to Ridge. Ross drags Ridge through hell—ceaselessly attacking Ridge's conviction to secure Rubicon. Ross is incapable of producing a Rubicon-esque cyberweapon. Ross must force Ridge to use a version to steal Rubicon's code. Ross unleashes a cyberattack, crashing a commercial airliner. After the crash, Xander realizes that Ross wants Rubicon at any cost. Ross poisons Amelia, Xander's terminally ill daughter, with a dastardly cyberattack, altering the chemical makeup of the IV fluids and medicines. Ross tries to crash Xander's plane. Unable to kill Ridge, Ross unleashes the cyberweapon on civilian aviation —spinning the world into terror. Upping the pressure on Ridge, someone orders an attack on Xander's home, endangering the Ridge family. Xander must come to terms with the fact that he must use Rubicon to stop Paul. RUBICON is the story you want to read before the world darkens.
