    Decius Caecilius Metellus is moving up in the world. He's won some money and glory fighting pirates in the Mediterranean and expects a speedy election to the office of praetor. That all changes when a man he's never seen before publicly accuses him of corruption. Decius and his powerful family of Rome's leading politicians scramble to prepare a defense. However, the day of the trial they are greeted with a strange surprise on the steps of the courthouse: the corpse of the man who made the accusation. Now Decius is up against a much more serious charge of murder. It may cost him his chance to run for office, but not if he can help it. Roberts once again masterfully sets Decius and his adventures against the background of this famed and crumbling Republic, enriching his story with historical detail and the immortal personalities of the day. ungekürzt.

    Mord am Vesuv: SPQR 11, Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 505min
    Decius Caecilius Metellus hat eine neue Aufgabe: Soeben zum Praetor Peregrinus gewählt, ist er für alle Gerichtsfälle zuständig, in die Nicht-Römer verwickelt sind - und das in ganz Italien. Als die Pflicht ihn nach Kampanien an den Fuß des Vesuv ruft, lässt er sich in der Luxusvilla eines Bekannten nieder, genießt die Annehmlichkeiten seines neuen Postens und macht die Bekanntschaft der vornehmen Gesellschaft, die sich so ganz anders gibt als die machtbesessenen Bürger Roms. Doch Decius' Ruhe wird gestört, als man die Tochter eines griechischen Priesters erdrosselt auffindet. Der Verdacht fällt sofort auf den Sohn des reichen Sklavenhändlers Gaeto, denn der hatte vergeblich um die Gunst der schönen jungen Frau geworben. Doch weitere Nachforschungen ergeben, dass die Ermordete alles andere als eine Unschuld vom Lande war und ihr Vater keineswegs nur der harmlose Apollo-Priester ist, als der er sich ausgibt. Als kurze Zeit später auch Gaeto selbst tot aufgefunden wird, ist zumindest eines klar: Die prächtigen Villen und Gärten Südkampaniens sind ebenso lebensgefährlich wie die engen Straßen Roms...

    New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer A. Nielsen brings a new dose of adventure and thrills to ancient Rome in the second book of her magical Mark of the Thief trilogy! Nic may have escaped enslavement in the mines outside of Rome, but his troubles are far from over. The Praetor War--the battle to destroy Rome from within--is in full force, and Nic is caught in the crossfire. The secretive Praetors are determined to unlock a powerful amulet--one sure to bring the empire to its knees. Worse, the Praetors believe Nic holds the key to finding this amulet, and they will stop at nothing to steal it, even if that means harming the people Nic holds most dear. When the Praetors capture Nic's mother, Nic knows he must do anything to save her. He challenges the Praetors to a chariot race. If he wins, they will release his mother. But if he loses, he must hand over a magic that will certainly destroy Rome and end his own life. Can Nic once again harness his magic and gather the strength to defeat his enemies? Or will he lose his mother and bear witness to Rome's destruction? Audio extra: Bonus story written by Jennifer A. Nielsen! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: MacLeod Andrews.

    The Mark of Athena: The Heroes of Olympus, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 908min
    Annabeth is terrified. Just when she’s about to be reunited with Percy - after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera - it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II, she can’t blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. With its steaming bronze dragon figurehead, Leo’s fantastical creation doesn’t appear friendly. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace. And that’s only one of her worries. In her pocket, Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving command: Follow the Mark of Athena. Avenge me. Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find - and close - the Doors of Death. What more does Athena want from her? Annabeth’s biggest fear, though, is that Percy might have changed. What if he’s now attached to Roman ways? Does he still need his old friends? As the daughter of the goddess of war and wisdom, Annabeth knows she was born to be a leader - but never again does she want to be without Seaweed Brain by her side. ungekürzt. Language: English.
