The best book of AD41 without a doubt.
Review: The Siege
The Siege (Agent of Rome 1) by Nick Brown My rating: 5 of 5 stars I am going back in time by reading this one.

Review: Vespasian False God of Rome (Vespasian III)
False God of Rome by Robert Fabbri My rating: 4 of 5 stars Robert Fabbri seems to be documenting, pretty much minute by minute, the career of Vespasian.

It’s ok, publishing people, I have bought all the books (so far) in the series (twice, actually, … Continue reading Review: The Wolf's Gold
Review: The Leopard Sword
The Leopard Sword by Anthony Riches My rating: 3 of 5 stars Once again, be warned - if you’re looking for Jane Austin set in 183AD, you better go find some Jane Austen, or Phillipa Gregory, or…or… You know, the stuff that is basically ‘Mills and Boon’ masquerading as Historical Fiction. For girls. Chick Hist … Continue reading Review: The Leopard Sword
