4.0 out of 5 stars
Full of Action and Excitement,
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hawk (Hardcover)
George Green was born in Dublin in 1956 and brought up in Tipperary, where he lived in a house built on an ancient burial mound. After university he embarked on a career in sport and leisure Ten years later he realized his mistake, took an MA in Creative Writing, began teaching and now works for the Department of English and Creative Writing at Lancaster University. This is a book about all of the things that I look for in a novel. It is about Rome in AD34, a period and a place that I enjoy reading about very much. It is a time when the Emperor Tiberius preferred to be down the coast, in sunny Capri, away from the stench and mobs of the city, leaving all of this in the hands of his regent Sejanus, a man who has come down through history as reckless and cruel man. Serpicus, one-time charioteer and now hunter of wild animals, also yearns for the quiet life like Tiberius, but of course not everyone can have the privileges of an Emperor. Money talks in the world of Serpicus and he has had an offer he can't refuse, from of all people the uncle of Sejanus.. The above synopsis provided by Amazon is more than adequate to give the reader a taste of the contents of the book and for those who do not like too much information before they read a book, my own gives just a taster of the start of an exciting and interesting story. As I said at the beginning, everything was in place in the book for me to know that I would enjoy it, I hope that you do too.
