The Spartapuss series follows the diary of a gladiator cat from Rome to the Land of the Kitons (A.K.A. Britain) and beyond. In the fifth exciting Spartapuss adventure, the Son of Spartapuss (nicknamed 'SOS' for short) visits Rome and falls in love with a female with the most beautiful name he has ever heard. He invites the fair Haireena on a date to the Emperor's unfinished Golden Palace, but things get off to a terrible start. The pair are discovered by the cruel emperor Nero, who decides that Haireena will make the perfect present for his favourite gladiator. After breaking out of Hades Row, (Rome's Worst Prison), SOS chases the gladiator only to find that he's taken Haireena on a secret mission in search of a treasure cavern at the source of the river Nile. Their journey to the Kingdom of the Kushites is full of shocks, crocs and a touch of magic, courtesy of Cleocatra's Kushion.
