In the next installment of the Marching With Caesar® saga, Titus Pullus has died peacefully in his sleep after retiring as Camp Prefect and achieving his goal of being elevated to the equestrian order. However, Augustus has decreed that his status will not be inherited by his adopted son and heir, Gaius Porcinus. Consequently, Porcinus is still in the ranks of the Legions where he marches with Tiberius Claudius Nero and his brother Drusus to quell the first of what will be a period of rebellions that mark the beginning of the career of the man who will become the second Emperor of Rome. Meanwhile, Gaius’ son and Pullus’ namesake Titus faces his own challenges as he learns what it means to be the grandson of a legend.
The first adult author with whom RW Peake developed a long-term relationship was Louis L’Amour, whose body of work shaped his life philosophy. After retiring from the Marines, RW proceeded to earn a BA in History from the Honors College at the University of Houston.
Although RW wrote a novel as a kid, he didn't publish his first novel until age 50. In addition to is time in the Marines, and before the tech bubble burst in 2000, he was a paper millionaire in the software industry.
A native Houstonian, RW recently relocated to the Olympic Peninsula of Washington, where he lives with his yellow Lab, Sadie.
With the retirement of Titus pullus I wondered if the story would go off the boil. I'm glad to say that I couldn't be more wrong, the story continues to be full of intrigued and excitement. This is undoubtedly due to the obvious depth of research that was done, but also the author,s knowledge of the way fighting men act and talk. This is a first class tale and a worthy successor to Titus Pullus
The story woven by Peake was greatly enjoyed. It hit all the right High's and didn't fall at all into the abyss. Although it, fortunately, stuttered one or twice in that direction until it righted itself and continued moving forward. Wish that there were more additions in this drama...
Enjoyed reading, always looking forward to opening book and see “what now”. Not give 5 score as multiple places “on and on and on”. I actually skipped pages when came across these places
If you read marching with Ceased series, which is very good, than you must read this book. The passing of Titus Pullus in the final book of marching with Ceaser ushers forth a new generation. Porcinus, the adopted son of Pullus, is with the army of Pannonia when he hell's 2 different rebellions. Meanwhile, the son of Porcinus, Titus, has to prove he is a man, even if Iras doesn't want that to happen yet.
Now that I've finished the 9th volume of the Pullus family story I have decided to add my 2 cents. I have never read a better family history at the same time learning about what it takes to be a soldier for Rome. Being a veteran myself, I've wondered if I would have had what it takes to be a Legionaire. I suggest that if you start reading these books, be prepared to not get any sleep as you will find yourself marching along with Titus Pullus.
I would like to say I liked the book and I normally don't care about editing too much but this is first time in the series I've seen this but for the love of God please insert more paragraphs next lol. I don't know if something happened in the format but there were endless sentences like whole pages without any break
I have read all your books, but somehow missed this one as I read through your catalog. Having now read this book, I understand the last three better. My only question at this point is, how long are you going to make us wait for the next book.?
A good book. The reminiscent portions annoyed me a bit, as it felt like I was being prompted due to some kind of memory-affecting malady, but we're now well set-up for young Titus' turn at being a Legionary.
When i started this book i thought is was a bit slow but when i got past 40 % on my kindle the Story was again like the other books in the series. Which are outfuckingstanding. Im reading no 9 in the series now. love it, just love it
Good book but for someone who has read all the books there' was a bit too much background story about the previous books which seemed to be designed for new readers, other than that excellent read
I thought this book wouldn't never compare to the the first seven, but i was proving wrong its just as good or better then the others cant wait to start the next one
