| 3. | McCullough, Colleen The First Man in Rome
Avon August 1, 1991 Paperback used; very good
From Publishers Weekly Gaius Marius, brilliant military leader and six-term Roman consul, heads th e cast of a hefty historical novel replete with politics, social infighting , bloody battles and domestic drama. "Evoking with impeccably researched, m eticulous detail the political and social fabric of Rome in the last days o f the Republic, McCullough demonstrates a thoroughgoing understanding of an age in which birth and blood lines determine one's fate," said PW . $200,0 00 ad/promo. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal This big, complex novel detailing the beginnings of the downfall of the Rom an Republic is a startling change of pace for McCullough ( The Thorn Birds, LJ 5/1/77). Gaius Marius, an upstart New Man from the Italian provinces, a nd Lucius Cornelius Sulla, a patrician Roman brought up in the slums of the Subura, are both ambitious enough to want to become First Man in Rome, des pite their social handicaps. The author deftly weaves politics, family riva lries, and battle scenes into a riveting story replete with fascinating det ails of everyday Roman life. The research is obviously painstaking; the aut hor includes a large glossary of more than 100 pages as well as a pronuncia tion key for the Roman names. Highly recommended. Previewed in Prepub Alert , LJ 6/1/90. BOMC main selection. - Marilyn Jordan, North Miami P.L., Fla.

Pocket Star September 1, 20 Paperback used; good
After last year's The October Horse, the final installment in her series se t in ancient Rome, McCullough returns to her native Australia to chronicle the adventures of Scotsman Alex Kinross, a headstrong and handsome former b oilermaker's apprentice in Glasgow, now rich and the founder of an eponymou s town in New South Wales. It is the late 19th century, and Alex, who has s ettled in Australia after finding gold both in America and Down Under, can find no suitable bride, so he sends to Scotland for one. Elizabeth, the bac kward 16-year-old beauty he marries, takes an instant dislike to him: he's no paragon of sensitivity; he bears an unfortunate resemblance to Satan; an d neither his brilliance, his money or his influence can persuade her to lo ve him.
