Publisher's Summary
Pharsalus, 48 BC: The battle will decide the fate of a civil war and empire. Caesar's forces are outnumbered, but he believes his veterans will not be outmatched.
For one veteran, the centurion Lucius Oppius, the battle will be about revenge rather than glory. Oppius has vowed to avenge his father's death. His enemy is Flavius Laco - a former gladiator and an agent of Pompey the Great. Against the backdrop of one of Ancient History's most momentous battles two soldiers will wage their own personal war. Caesar, Pompey, Mark Antony, Brutus, and Cicero all feature in the climax to the best-selling Sword of Rome series.
For fans of Bernard Cornwell, Simon Scarrow and Conn Iggulden. The Sword of Rome series of novellas follow Julius Caesar and his centurion Lucius Oppius during their campaigns in Britain, Gaul, and the Civil War. The stories are a blend of action, intrigue, and ancient history.

Realistic story of Ancient Rome.
The story is set in Ancient Rome during the times of Julius Caesar. A great story with characters that evolve from Book 1 in the series to current 4th Book. The author makes you care about the Solidiers of the 10th Legion and their respective fates (especially the central characters from the 10th legion). It's well narrated and I hope there will be more stories in the series.

good fun
Great to read the story from the soldiers perspective. Similar to Scarrow and Pressfield. As a fan of both Marius and Ceaser and an opponent of the boni nee optimises, I despise Cato, Brutus for his betrayal, the same types backed Sulla who undermined Marius, based on jealousy and refusal of real democratic principles such as land sharing. To the victor goes the spoils and Ceasers histories are dominant. had pompey won can you imagine the lies of Cato,stoic drunkard and petty man. what would have transpired if Julia lived, or Sullas henchmen had murdered the young Ceaser for not divorcing Cinnilla. Would Ceaser have defeated the Parthians had he not been cowardly murdered. I believe like Sulla he would have surrender power after his laws were implemented. The Respublic could possibly been restored, but then would Antony, lepidus, and the optimates acceded to power sharing. octavian nee Augustus was right to seek revenge for Ceasers craven murder, if so bloody righteous why flee Rome, eh Brutus and dog Cassius. the third triumvirate failed and an empire resulted and now in the 21st century the world's geo political order appears to be marching headlong away from democracy but empire.
