The story begins by unfolding the actual history of how the city of Rome came to be and builds a sense of pride the Romans shared in their culture. Fictional events in the life of a Roman soldier follow. Gnaeus serves under Pompey Magnus and battles against the rebellious Spartans, and then helps Julius Caesar defend the empire's northern borders against the advancing Celts and Germans. Ultimately Gnaeus's judgment and loyalty are called into question when he discovers that his real enemies may be the very people he's been fighting for.

This review is from: For the Glory of Rome (Paperback)
This is bad. I tried real hard to see it through to the end seeing as I paid for it but just could not finish it. Threw it away. I found it even worse than Simon Scarrow's books & I will never buy another of his. Puerile story with modern day exclamations like "wow". Anyway you get the drift. Better off by far reading Imperial Governor by George Shipway. That is real art or try Eagle in the Snow by Wallace Breem. Perhaps even the Nero Agenda by Gordon R.Blake which looks promising although I am yet to read.
