It is the Spring of AD43 and a huge fleet carrying over 40,000 Roman soldiers crosses the wild northern sea to seize the mysterious isle of Britannia, for the glory of Rome and their emperor, Claudius. Along with the other warriors who come ashore, Marcus Sulpicius Vepitta and his comrades in the XIIII Gemina Legion soon find themselves pitched headlong into a sequence of murderous battles, fighting to conquer a land that has for so long lain beyond the grasp of one of the greatest empires the world has ever known. Yet, even before the great invasion armada had left the shores of Gaul, Claudius’ army had already been shaken to its core by the threat of mass mutiny and Vepitta had unwittingly become embroiled in the affairs of others, as a long simmering quest for retribution is finally begun. Amidst the unrelenting savagery of total war, Vepitta comes to find his loyalty and honour tested as never before. And, as the beleaguered Britons begin to crumble before the relentless Roman war machine, he soon learns that he has been sucked deep into the schemes of a young Roman noble woman, who yearns for justice - at any cost.

IF you've read some other Roman historical fiction and think this is just another thrown together plot for money - you'll be ama By Vx Primvs Aebvtivs "Again?" I thought, after the trouble and heart-ache that was John's previous trip into writing a book about Roman army reminiscences. True, he wrote an accurate, honest, sometimes brutal account of life in the Roman Army as seen through his alter-persona Vepitta... and left the first book hanging at the stage of crossing the channel.That said, when asked to read a pre-publication copy, I jumped at the chance to see how he'd made the story more 'people'friendly'. He's done that, in spades!Evoking memories of my re-enactment days, tears at descriptions of friends lost in the battlefield, laughter at most inopportune moments, thoughts of what could be, and leaving with - again - "what happens next?" I really hope this book becomes number one in a series, as was planned before.IF you've read some other Roman historical fiction and think this is just another thrown together plot for money - you'll be amazed at how wrong you are, the plot has been worked through, the people, names and places all exist(ed). Having been to many places (in England) mentioned in the story, and seen people taking the names of former soldiers, John's telling of this weaving story-line, with the blatant political thrust that was 'capture Britannia, or die trying' brought back memories and faces I thought I'd forgotten.Ave et Vale amici, OR Hic advenite sic lacertosis satis estis. (Hale and farewell my friends / Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough)A truly inspiring book, on how to survive amidst the heat of political turmoil, spys, daily death, and destruction - but whose?

The first person style is reminiscent (although not derivative) of Robert Graves's I Claudius and after a few pages I was completely invested in Vepitta, our narrator, whose apology for his actions is explained in his prologue which reminds us that it was the way they did things then. While not overdone, the descriptive paragraphs really bring the settings and scenes to life. You are there as a spectator at the battles, in the tents, on the marches. The author really knows his stuff and the characters and settings are completely believable. The camaraderie between our narrator and his fellow soldiers is timeless. You may hate Vepitta or you may love him, but you will want to know how he fares and whether he gets back to his family. Personally I can't wait for the next installment.

His characters are captivating, the story gripping, and the atmosphere he creates absorbing. The author is clearly an expert on the Roman world (as his non-fiction works have shown) but here he has truly managed to tread the difficult path between history and fiction to create a really interesting and enjoyable story that I would highly recommend - now I'll have to 'waite' for book II!
