As usual, a great read . Simon Scarrow at his best again' 'Simon Scarrow is a master of storytelling and rip-roaring adventures . Totally enthralling ' Review: BUENO - BUENA CONTINUACION. UN POCO MAS FLOJA QUE OTRAS ENTREGAS DE LA SAGA Review: well researched on the Roman Legions - I have enjoyed all seventeen books in this series and will continue to no doubt. Plenty of action and intrigue for the two heroes of the Roman Army. I very much like how Simon Scarrow includes plenty of nitty gritty on the training and everyday habits of the long ago Legions, how they prepare for battle, etc., showing how well researched it is. In a way this series along with so many other series on this subject is a tribute to the millions of nameless men who served in the Legions from everywhere around, in the 600 year empire. I look forward to book 18, a sequel to book 17.
