Rome in Ruins

Nathan Grant Thriller #5

by Kenneth Rosenberg

A life of glitz and glamour isn't all it's made out to be. Just ask Nathan Grant.

Nathan Grant's home is in desperate need of repair and he's running out of cash. When a job offer to work security for a glamorous Italian movie star comes along, it seems like a no-brainer. Nathan is off to Rome for a six-week movie shoot, but what seems like an easy gig at first quickly starts going south. Someone is after Isabella Palermo, and Nathan has no idea why. If he doesn't sort this all out fast, it might just cost the movie star her life, as well as Nathan's own.

[Curt · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun read of the 5th installment in the Nathan Grant series. As is common with the thriller genre, you have to suspend disbelief and just roll with some of the fantastical things that the hero pulls off but that’s why they’re popular and why I read them.

[Mike C · Rating 4 out of 5]

Just recently discovered this series and enjoyed all of them. They’re easy reads full of action and intrigue.
Nathan, the main character, is likable and easy to root for and the European locals make the stories more interesting.

If you’re like me and read for entertainment you could do a lot worse. There are times when Nathan almost easies into Gray Man territory with his antics and it’s not really his makeup, but suspend a little belief and enjoy the ride.

Five Stars

I have read all of the Nathan Grant books and have never been disappointed. This book was no exception. Lots of action and some really interesting characters….most of them unpleasant. I very much look forward to the next book. A well deserved 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very Good Until

The Nathan Grant series has been developed well, and this novel is very good until the last few chapters. I won’t say more to prevent spoilers, but it’s a letdown nonetheless.

Non stop action

Very intriguing premise. Enslaved women, antiquities stolen to be sold to rich patrons, to never seen again. Filled with flawed characters that, at then, redeem themselves .

Spellbinding Thriller

Once again Mr. Rosenberg has drafted a gripping page turner. Nathan Grant is well developed and all characters in the book develop with each turn of the page. This book was hard to put down.

ANOTHER GOOD GRANT READ

This book is recommended because it had an interesting plot and was an easy read.
This is the third book about Nathan Grant I read, and I shall continue to look for others.

A Very Good Read

Thank you again, Kenneth Rosenberg! Another well written, unputdownable novel. I so look forward to book number 6 with Nathan in Budepest.

Italian Justice

Nathan Grant takes on a new job, but things don't go as planned. A typical Nathan Grant scenario! Fascinating story.

Rome In Ruins

A lot of murder and unexpected events. I liked the secondary characters and wish that many of them could have developed more.

[Stefan Rowana · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed the start but the ending held little appeal.

[Richard Werner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fast paced, easy read and hard to put down. Look forward to more Nathan Grant books
