The best book I have read in some time. It flows as good books do, the research is excellent.
I put it on the bracket of KM ASHMAN books .
Looking forward to book 2

Aceptable

Parece generada por IA, al menos la trama global. Hay un error cuando están organizando el primer ataque sobre Camulodunum se confunde a Geta con Sabinus.
Por lo demás la trama tiene la sensación de complicarse y hacerse más interesante con cada capítulo. Le doy un voto de confianza

An excellent story I was quite surprised by following the various characters in the invasion of Brittania how it ended .I expect Maximus will be up for it in the next story.
