Rome: Sword of the Legion
From USA Today Bestselling and ITW Thriller Award-Winning Author R. Cameron Cooke come the adventures of Lucius Domitius, soldier of Rome...
48 B.C., Alexandria, Egypt - Victorious after the Battle of Pharsalus and enticed by the promise of riches in the East, Centurion Lucius Domitius is among the legionaries chosen to accompany Julius Caesar to Egypt. Upon arriving, the Roman troops find themselves embroiled in a sibling rivalry of a royal nature. Lucius becomes unlikely allies with an alluring princess and her followers as they seek out the fabled Eye of Horus. Worn by the pharaohs of old, the ancient talisman promises to secure the throne for the ambitious princess and summon all of Egypt to her banner. But ancient amulets carry ancient curses, and Lucius soon discovers that some things are better left buried in the sand.

Not bad, but something was missing
This story was not up to the standard set by other R. Cameron Cooke books. True, it moved along at a fast and violent pace but it just didn't grab my imagination. Rather disappointing I'm afraid.

NOT BAD BUT NOT GOOD
This book is set in the time period of Caesar and Cleopatra but it really is just a treasure hunt aligned to an Indiana Jones style story. The book is very short 190+ pages so you don't really get any details in depth, so the whole story is bit shallow. Iv e been trieing to find out in what order these books should be read in. I sent the author a message via his web-site but haven't had a reply

Another Great Read From R. Cameron Cooke
Another Great Read From R. Cameron Cooke. I thought the author handled the desert action rather well and especially his description of finding the eye of Horus. That part was exceptionally well done. Now to the 3rd book in the series.

First of the series completed
Enjoyed this tarn. It had all the key ingredients of adventures and treachery and wasn't passed out with unnecessary dialogue.

in terms of a piece of Roman Army fiction I found this very lacking. I felt the period was not quite in the story, though it did cover a piece of the Caesar legend that rarely makes it into novels; Caesar's near disaster at Alexandria.
