"Rod Warren has constructed a historical fiction novel that uses language clear enough for even a casual reader like myself to enjoy. I found myself turning pages so fast that I couldn't remember how long I had even been reading. Now, that's good writing! The characters and historical settings captivated my imagination and took me to places I've never been. A great book for those who want to read an epic adventure with everything that goes into a classic." Steve Anderson-Hollywood, California "I fell in love with the characters, some you loved and some you hated. It was engaging, very visual, and the author painted a perfect picture to make you want to keep reading.You don't have to have any interest in Roman history or battles to love this story. The ending was a surprise. I think this book would appeal to both men and women as well as teenagers. I give it two thumbs up." Pam Onishi-Portland, Oregon "This entire book was most fascinating. I found that it was hard to put down which led me to read the entire book in only a few days. It seems obvious that the author did a great deal of research of this historical period then crafted a fascinating story with historical facts and fictional characters. This story had such components as adventure, loyalty, intrigue, mystery, subversion, action, treachery, murder, revenge, tragedy and a bit of romance to balance it all out. With these items combined this is a very interesting and informative book. My curiosity was piqued to learn more of this period in history. I will definitely recommend this work of art to my friends and those I know who enjoy historical fiction." Julie Ghirdelli-Santaquin, Utah
