Rome AD 36. The mighty Feline Empire rules the world. A ginger cat is comfortable managing Rome's finest Bath and Spa complex. But Fortune has other plans for him. There's a nasty incident in the Vomitarium. He's arrested and imprisoned by Catligula, the Emperor's heir and favourite. Released into a school for gladiators, our Fraidipuss hero must fight and win his freedom in the Arena - before his opponents make mouse-meat of him. Spartapuss' diary tells of how a Kiton slave became a prisoner, the prisoner became a gladiator. But will the gladiator become history? Action-packed and full of historical details, The Spartapuss series follows the diary of a gladiator cat from Rome to the Land of the Kitons (A.K.A. Britain).
