“A satisfying, bloodthirsty, bawdy romp. Perfect for Cornwell addicts who will relish its historical detail and fast-paced action. Storming stuff!”
---The Good Book Guide
“Scarrow’s combat is brutal and sanguinary; his imperial politics are almost as sharp. Fast paced, building to a satisfyingly high pitch . . . Scarrow hits his stride with this fluid post-Caligula bloodbath.”
---Publishers Weekly
“Scarrow’s legionary adventures have put guts back into historical writing. His great knowledge of the period is allied to a talent for taking you right into the thick of the action to share the blood, sweat, horror, and exhilaration of battle.”
---The Northern Echo (UK)
