Reviews

Praise for Simon Scarrow:
"I really don't need this kind of competition." --Bernard Cornwell
"Scarrow manages to summon up all the glory and the gore that characterized life in the Roman legions. Outstanding military history from a relatively new master of the genre." --"Booklist"
"A combustible concoction of intrigue, treachery, and violence Scarrow's combat is brutal and sanguinary; his imperial politics are almost as sharp." --"Publishers Weekly""
