Julius Caesar has finished writing the history of his campaigns in Gaul. His publisher, Libellus Blockbustus, foresees a huge success... but there's a snag. The chapter about Caesar's defeats by the indomitable Gauls of Armorica must be cut, Blockbustus advises, to ensure everyone believes Caesar conquered all Gaul! Can the Gauls make sure the truth is revealed?

Asterix and The Chariot Race (Book 37)

The roads across Italy are in disrepair. To defend his name and prove Rome's greatness, Senator Lactus Bifidus announces a special one-off chariot race.

With Bifidus secretly scheming, who will win this almighty chariot race?

Will our indomitable heroes find her before the Romans do?
