Publisher's Summary

The Forgotten Legion fought against almighty odds at the very edge of the known world - and lost.

Now Brennus the Gaul, Tarquinius the Etruscan soothsayer and Romulus, bastard son of a Roman nobleman, are prisoners of Parthia. They dream of escape, but in the brutal fighting which lies ahead, only two will survive.

Meanwhile, Fabiola, Romulus's twin sister, is caught up in the vicious eddies of Roman politics. Hunted by slave catchers she flees, hoping to find her lover, Brutus, bound for Alexandria with Caesar.

Ben Kane's brilliant second novel plunges his characters into a cauldron of war and terror, as Caesar and the Roman Republic hurtle towards their day of reckoning.

a good follow up book

as much as i enjoyed this second book i must admit to absolutely hateing Fabiola....i guess she is a stunning woman as Ben used every opportunity to invoke her beauty...it seems everytime her storyline came into it her beauty was extolled. yeah yeah we get it the whore is a beauty 😒

the rest of the story was thoroughly enjoyable...Romulus is growing into a fine character that im really enjoying. parts of this storyline tore my heart out though :(

A neatly woven tapestry

Another action packed book by Ben Kane telling the second epic chapter in this series. Wonderfully detailed and graphic battles that capture a scale and magnitude hard to believe. Well read by a favourite narrator.

Imaginative tie-in to historical events

Really interesting way of bringing to life the Roman experience in the time of the First Triumvirate.
I do question the need, however, to detail rape scenes. Inference and emotional outcomes would be more appropriate.
Michael Praed delivers a wide range of characterisations, it's hard to believe it's the same narrator.

Otherwise, a great continuation of the story of the twins.
