Description
In AD 63 the long arm of the Roman Empire stretches across the European continent and the gladiatorial games are awash in blood and glory. For Quintus Honorius Romanus, son of one of the richest men in Rome, everything is as it should be--as long as he can sneak off to the arena for a little entertainment. Things go drastically wrong, however, when Quintus loses his family, his social standing, and his name to an imposter. Faced with a life of menial slavery, Quintus joins a gladiatorial show more school instead and begins a game of high stakes, as he vows to bring down the usurper who stole his life. show lessTags

The writing style of this book is reminiscent of the pulp fiction of the earlier part of the 20th century. This book has a simple, yet engrossing, plot line with an heroic protagonist squaring off against a truly dastardly villain. The main characters are supported by realistically portrayed cohorts.
There is plenty of action and blood in this book with a story line that keeps the reader wrapped up in the adventures of Lucius, Lindari, and Amazonia. While not "great literature", this is a fun book and will be thoroughly enjoyed by lovers of action and thrills.
