All Roads Lead to Rome

The Praetorian Series #4

by Edward Crichton

Nothing will ever be the same again.After the unfortunate events that took place in Britain, Jacob Hunter is no longer certain of many things, but this ill-fated truth is one he understands implicitly. Having spent months battling his addiction to the all-powerful blue orb, a device capable of traveling through time but equally adept at breaking a man’s mind, Jacob has finally succumbed to it. Once aided by loyal companions and the woman he loves, Jacob has abandoned everyone he has ever trusted, his mind warped by the orb’s influence.However, recently given new clues concerning the orb’s potential, Jacob departs for Rome, where he now knows a second orb lay hidden, waiting to be reunited with the orb he already possesses. Accompanied only by Rome’s manipulative empress, Agrippina the Younger, the pair journey to Rome where they hope to discover the secret to the orb’s power, but a destructive truth lies behind what they seek, one he may not be fully prepared to combat…But Jacob is not the only one about to embark on a daring quest. Having been abandoned and left without direction in the hinterlands of ancient Britain, Jacob’s sister, Diana, must find it in herself to rally Jacob’s jilted friends and corral an enraged Helena, the woman he loves, who carries her own mysterious secret after her life was miraculously saved at the brink of death.Unprepared for the responsibility suddenly thrust on her by Jacob's disappearance, Diana understands that she and her friends must find him before it's too late. Clouded and perverted though his mind may be, she knows her brother all too well. Jacob, tormented and driven beyond rationality, is prepared to sacrifice everything to find the lost orb. Including his life...

Great book

This last book in the Praetorian Series has been the longest book of the series. It was so intense that I had to stop frequently to allow my brain to wrap itself around all the science things going on. I recommend this book to everyone.

Book 4 of the Praetorian series

A fantastic read but only 4 stars as there were grammar & spelling mistakes throughout all 4 of the books

Fun fun fun

What a fun ride that was! Edward Crichton can sling an unbelievable tale around in a believable way. He has a Gladius-sharp wit and a self depreciating sense of humor that makes me want to buy him a beer. I just never knew what to expect next. Wheeee!
