Publisher's Synopsis
Gordianus meets Caesar and the legendary Cleopatra It is 48BC. Rival Roman generals Pompey and Caesar have turned to Egypt in their contest for world domination. But Egypt itself is torn apart by the murderous rivalry between the goddess-queen and her brother, King Ptolemy. Into this hothouse atmosphere of intrigue comes Gordianus the Finder, seeking a cure for his wife in the sacred waters of the Nile. But he soon finds himself forced to prove the innocence of his son who stands accused of murder. The judgement of Caesar will determine the fate of Gordianus's son; the choice Caesar makes between Cleopatra and Ptolemy will determine the future of the world.
