Books in the Spartacus series in order

The odyssey has begun which will see Spartacus become one of the greatest legends of history, the hero of revolutionaries from Karl Marx to Che Guevara, immortalised on screen, and now brought to life in Ben Kane's great bestseller - a novel which takes the story to its halfway point and is continued in Spartacus: Rebellion.

The mighty slave army, led by Spartacus, has carried all before it, scattering the legions of Rome. Crassus, the richest man in Rome, begins to raise a formidable army, tasked specifically with the defeat of Spartacus.
