If you have to chose between this series and another, get this one you will never regret your choice! Sean ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Another excellent book. Action-packed and certainly not dull. The author certainly knows his military and Roman history. Can't wait to read the next book in the series! Big Slim Jade ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I enjoyed this book in the series. Great science fiction and well designed story line. I look forward to the next installment. Maus
