Intriguing Far Eastern twist
As I have said in past reviews, there are so many characters moving in and out of the storyline that it can be difficult to keep them all straight. Same issue with place names. When I read the historical notes at the end of the book, this often helps tie pieces together. I wish I could do this while I am reading the book, but not easy to do with an ebook.
And after reading the historical notes from all of the previous books, it is clear Mr. Miller takes his research seriously. So I trust that much of what was included in this story set in the Far East is based on solid foundations.
I still enjoy the main characters and will continue with the series. But I admit to being curious as to how long Mr. Miller will stretch this.

The Delights Of A Large Book Series.
When there are, at present, fifteen books in the series, and one reaches the tenth book; the enjoyment of being absorbed in the world of the stories is immense and entertaining.
I honestly think this would make a good ‘Netflix’ multi-season watch, I do. Charlie Hunman as Lucius, Ron the Perlman as Octar & a host of the acting pool in the other roles. Go on, make a box-set, Netflix!

Brilliant brilliant
So interestingly exciting. I feel I am riding the horses on the plains, I could taste the food, see the action feel the weather see the places, just transports you to different time and place. It kept me up until I could not keep my eyes open each night. Can't wait for the next one. Thank you.

Awesome!
I was not expecting this release with all the Covid craziness. And as usual I was thoroughly delighted. I love the interactions with Lucius' companions, the unexpected twists and turns. And I am ecstatic by the very last line. Cannot wait for the next book!

Not as good
Having read the previous books I was surprised an
d disappointed and found this book to be a mishmash and disjointed story with little substance to it!
Sorry to be so brutal but I was asked for my honest opinion and have given it
Not worth reading!!!

another tale from the sea of grass
Hector Miller’s saga of Aurelian/Euchar continues to engross the reader and capture the imagination. The pages seemingly turn themselves as you are transported to the 3rd century AD. Can’t wait for the next chapter in this saga.

Great read
Loved this book mostly for its characters and the story is great and flowing. Recommend this book very much although you should start reading from the beginning. It's a great journey.

Denna bok tar steget från historisk roman till historisk fantasy, och gör det väldigt bra. Jag är inte besviken över att ha läst denna. Aurelianus besöker Kina under den samtida 3-kungarikesperiodens sista år.

A great addition to the series, though not the best. Well written and full of challenging elements of both geography and history in a very readable package.

journey to the east
A very long read about journey to east, complex in the geography detail and tribes and leaders of the east.

The saga of the thrice named man continues. It just gets better. Eochar is a brilliant tactical leader and a great warrior.
