I'd like to give it 4.5 stars
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
But seeing as someone has given it one, I'll round up. Cons: A lot of characters at the beginning make you work to figure out who's who (a glossary is provided, but who's got time for that :) A bit predictable once you see the plot flesh out; Pros: It starts fast; It's all dialogue; Overall, a very enjoyable book. There's very little actual "action," but it is stimulating. I wish Mr. Breem had written more.
An excellent perspective on Imperial Rome
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book does an outstanding job of putting you in the shoes of an interesting main character, who is given a chance to redeem himself by travelling to Africa and rescuing the daughter of a prominent Roman family. The depiction of life in Rome and Africa is interesting and has a very authentic feel. The events and plot are involving too and kept me gripped from start to finish. It's more of a political thriller than a military study, so don't look for the rich battle scenes so prominent in the author's other book "Eagle in the Snow." Both books are outstanding in their own way, however, and the initial "one-star" review seems way off the mark to me.
Excellent Historical Fiction

The above reviewer is insane. This is an excellent book. Maybe not as good as "Eagle in the Snow" but still exceptional. Please disregard that one star review.
