Summary

The seventh novel in Anthony Riches' acclaimed Empire sequence brings Marcus Aquila back to Rome, hunting the men who destroyed his family. But the revenge he craves may cost him and those around him dearly. The young centurion's urge to exact his own brutal justice upon the shadowy cabal of assassins who butchered his family means that he must face them on their own ground, risking his own death at their hands.

A senator, a gang boss, a praetorian officer and, deadliest of all, champion gladiator Mortiferum - the Death Bringer - lie in wait. The knives are unsheathed, and ready for blood....

Great story. The amount of politics and manoeuvring going on in Ancient Rome amazes me. Good to finally see who the gladiator and the centurion that trained young Corvus/Aquilla actually were. Enjoyed this book immensely.

The politics going on in Ancient Rome.

once again the combination of Anthony and Saul have done a brilliant job of taking the listener on a thrill ride that keeps thrilling right to the end. Was slightly dissapointed in the gladiator outcome...im hoping that story picks up in the next book.

thoroughly enjoyable
