Product Description

Product Description

A year has passed since the end of the Gallic rebellion of Sacrovir and Florus. Retribution has been exacted and the province is at peace once more. And yet there are some who escaped Rome's justice. They are led by a man whose heart burns with hate; an heir to rebellion. Knowing that there can be no victory against the legions; his vengeance can only be wrought through terror and murder. The Gallic city of Lugdunum will be the first to taste his wrath.The city of Lugdunum flourishes; the Twentieth Legion's Third Cohort having been stationed within the city since the end of the Sacrovir Revolt. For Centurion Proculus and his legionaries their comfortable assignment will soon come unraveled as a series of grisly murders looks to upset the order of the city. Sergeant Artorius inadvertently finds himself at the center of the search to find these mysterious killers before they undermine the city's faith in the protection of the legions; a search that will lead him on a journey into the darkest corners of what lurks in a broken man's wicked soul.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Bit of A Disappointment 23 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
It's the third outing for Mr Mace and his series "Soldier of Rome" and having enjoyed the first two, I know the editing was poor and the spelling a victim of F7 spellchecker but Mr Mace's obvious passion for the period and his Knowledge of the Roman Military carried it for me. However this third outing that touches on Murder and Political Intrigue fell flat - this is dangerous waters for a writer as so many others do it and do it better Davies,Sidebottom and Graves to drop a few names. Mr Mace's plot and it's time line were muddled and too much reliance and the Sergeants sexual exploits with oft mentioned "Deviant Behaviour" what this behaviour takes the form of we are not told, however the disturbing image of our hero swishing about in a Ladies summer frock springs to mind.
It's transparent that this series includes if not ends at a carpenter from Judea being nailed to cross by our hero ( who gets lots of practice in this novel ) just hope the next instalment is a better effort than this.

3.0 out of 5 stars Curate's Egg 15 Jan 2010
By Falco
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This, the third book in James Mace's series is a little flat compared to the other two. The problem is that the Hero, Artorious, whilst well painted in the previous two books and allowed to roam in our imaginations, has been slightly curtailed. This means that the "sex as a means of keeping interest in the book" is more noticeable as are some of the more glaring and repeated spelling errors. e.g., I am positive that the Romans had a lot more "Provincial" Governors than they appear from these books to have "Provisional" Governors.

Having said that, in all it is a good series but could be improved by more fleshing out of Artorius and a bit more fleshing out of the Imperial power plays which seem to fluctuate between vague and overplayed but are mainly just whetting the curiousity rather than satisfying it and making the reader care about it.

In all a good read but in comparison to the previous two, "Could do better" as my old teacher used to say, we have proof of that by Books 1 and 2.

1.0 out of 5 stars Historical fiction 2 May 2013
By Mr. G. Johns VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Once more - a total waste of time and money! If you are tempted by the cover, to purchase this - please think again! A child's comic with words and language not recommended for anyone under the age of sixteen! The Americanisms, poor grammar and atrocious spelling show it has not being proofread before publication. In my opinion the writer is just cashing in on works by better authors for a fast buck, yet again!!
