Reviews:

'Superb! A wickedly fast-moving storyline with bloodthirsty action, nail-biting tension, clever plotting and a strong sense of authenticity. Fans of Scarrow, Iggulden and Sidebottom will love this - and so will aficionados of Lindsey Davis' Falco series. Just brilliant.' - Berks Historical Literature Review
