El hijo de Espartaco

Resumen del libro

Libre al fin de la esclavitud, Marco está decidido a encontrar y salvar a su madre, que lleva ya tiempo secuestrada. Sin embargo, su amo, Julio César, pretende que lo ayude a acabar con las bandas de esclavos rebeldes, comandadas por Brixus, quien planea unir un ejército de esclavos y resucitar la causa de Espartaco. Pero Marco y Brixus son viejos aliados y comparten un secreto que puede acabar con sus vidas. Marco se debate entre su amigo y maestro. ¿Podrá convencer a Brixus de que no es el momento de una rebelión mortal? ¿Y será capaz de persuadir al César de que negocie la rendición de los esclavos antes de que haya más carnicería y derramamiento de sangre?
