Über den Autor
Australian-born novelist Stephen Dando-Collins trained as a graphic artist and worked as a designer, copywriter, and later senior executive with leading advertising agencies before serving as chief operating officer for Australia at a US market research group. He has been a full-time author, editor, and researcher since 1996, dealing mostly with historical subjects. His acclaimed work of American history, Standing Bear Is a Person, telling the true story of an 1879 Nebraska legal case, was published in 2004. The first in his series of definitive histories of the Roman legions, Caesar's Legion, based on more than thirty years of research, has found a broad audience around the world since it was published in 2002. The second in the series, Nero's Killing Machine, was published in 2005, followed by Cleopatra's Kidnappers in 2006 and Mark Antony's Heroes in 2007.The Inquest, his debut novel, benefits from his expert knowledge of Rome and the Romans of the first century.
