Set in the Roman world during the days leading up to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, Pompeii follows an aqueduct engineer named Marcus Attilius. When the water supply fails, he investigates a problem that appears to extend beyond ordinary engineering. His search draws him into a world of political corruption, personal danger, and mounting natural catastrophe. Robert Harris combines historical detail with suspense as the disaster approaches. The novel offers a vivid fictional account of life in the Roman Empire and the destruction of Pompeii.
