Summary
Rome has a new emperor; a strong emperor. Septimius Severus, a lion of the battlefield, now moves east to face the usurper Pescennius Niger, contesting with a clever opponent with the ultimate prize in the balance: the throne of Rome.
But with civil war raging all across the East, problems abound. One of the frumentarii, the emperor's military agents, has gone missing in Arabia, and with him has gone a list of the service's personnel.
With just a slave familiar with the east, Rufinus sets off for an outpost on the edge of the empire, seeking the missing agent in an attempt to save all those on the list before it falls into enemy hands. A war-torn land, treachery and violence await…

Not actually a Praetorian in this one.
The main problem with this series is that we’re expected to see honour in one man’s service to the most corrupt of corrupt empires. I know you can wang on about how no one at the time knew or but honestly, this is just a shitty bit of Roman history and no one in their right mind would feel real loyalty to any of these snakes. I was very pleased to see the author address, with a nice line in humour, the lead character’s inability to stay with one service for longer than a week!

Brilliant book in a brilliant series
Another instalment in a fabulous series.
Well written, with accuracy to the sights , sounds and smells of ancient Rome.
The fiction intertwines with fact and makes for a gripping listening.
Only one complaint- why does Senova keep getting herself into difficult , dangerous situations? She’s a real Roman pain in the arse.
Sort out this character as her pig headed behaviour messes the story up.
If you want to be authentic - a good old Roman rollicking or a disciplining should hopefully sort her out.
No one can be that thick and stubborn after all the tight squeezes she’s got herself into.
