Marching With Caesar #16
Avenging Varus Part II
In the sixteenth installment of the international bestselling Marching With Caesar series, with the death of Titus Porcinianus Pullus, Centurion Gnaeus Volusenus finally learns the truth, that not only was Pullus his superior but his natural father, turning his world upside down. By accepting the truth and adopting his true identity, Gnaeus Volusenianus Pullus must cope with all that comes with being a member of this extraordinary family.
Traveling to the Pullus home of Arelate to inter his father’s ashes with Diocles' son Alexandros, Gnaeus faces challenges that, while they are unlike anything he has faced under the standard, are no less deadly, and come from within his own new family.
Barely recovering from his trip to Arelate, Gnaeus returns to the 1st Legion, where Germanicus Julius Caesar leads Gnaeus and his comrades in another campaign, in which the Army of the Rhine will at last face the German chieftain Arminius and finish the task set for them by Rome’s new Emperor Tiberius, hopefully avenging the loss of Varus and his Legions.

The Saga continues .......
Pullus et al continue to take us to places where some of us have been.
The sights , the sounds and indeed the smells of death and destruction.
Wise heads would advise us not to go into theses dark places yet, like Pullus ( and his antecedents ) .... the feeling of being alive is no more precious than after an “action”.
Yes, this series continues , fast and furious, capturing the banter, the doubt, the fear and also to elation of 2000 years ago , or of yesterday. “Porto, Pullus “

This series contininues to be one of my favourites.
And G. Pullus is proving himself to be a worthy successor to his family name.
As I never fail to remind my own troops - know the organization of the Roman Legions and one can easily see the relationship between it and the rise of the Regimental System.
Ad Acium!

Fabulous
This episode of the lives of the Pullus family has a lot to live up to, and it does not disappoint. It's full to the brim of action as Romes Rhine legions try to hunt down and destroy the confederation of German tribes led by Arminus. As usual there are moments of triumph and loss in the battles that are vividly and minute?y described with skill. It's a fabulous tale

April 7, 2021Another good read
As usual I enjoyed this addition to the Pullus Family chronicles. We now know more about Gnaeus, the latest addition to the family. He seems much more naive and not as smart as the Pullus's who came before him. But, I suspect that will change as the story continues to unfold.

Great characters, very believable and hard to put down.

Excellent book
Very well written, character development is excellent. I highly recommend this work and it’s author. They should make a movie series of marching with Caesar.

Absolutely brilliant by Ron Peake. This series keeps on giving. Quite apart from the insane (and wonderful) level of detail, his intimate knowledge of military life and culture (despite the 2000 year separation humans don’t change) and description of battles, skirmishes and the sheer drudgery of life on campaign he manages to take readers to a place where anything that affects the Pullus family actually hurts. It is almost as if the reader is part of the family. There have been several occasions throughout this series where I’ve cried and laughed with equal intensity. I cannot recommend it enough and can’t wait for the next instalment. Salve Ron
