Product Information
Warrior of Rome II- King of Kings is the second in Harry Sidebottom's vivid five-part series. AD256 - the spectre of treachery hangs ominously over the Roman Empire. The sparks of Christian fervour have spread through the empire like wildfire, and the imperium is alive with the machinations of dangerous and powerful men. All the while, Sassanid forces press forward relentlessly along the eastern frontier. The battle-bloodied general Ballista returns to the imperial court from the fallen city of Arete - only to find that there are those who would rather see him dead than alive. Ballista is soon caught in a sinister web of intrigue and religious fanaticism . . . his courage and loyalty will be put to the ultimate test in the service of Rome and the Emperor. The Warrior of Rome is back . . . Dr Harry Sidebottom is a leading authority on ancient warfare - he applies his knowledge with a spectacular flair for sheer explosive action and knuckle-whitening drama. Fans of Bernard Cornwell will love Sidebottom's recreation of the ancient world. Praise for Harry Sidebottom- 'Sidebottom's prose blazes with searing scholarship' The Times 'The best sort of red-blooded historical fiction' Andrew Taylor, author of The American Boy Dr. Harry Sidebottom is Fellow of St Benets Hall, and Lecturer at Lincoln College, Oxford - where he specializes in ancient warfare and classical art. %%%Warrior of Rome II- King of Kings is the second in Harry Sidebottom's vivid five-part series.

A Superior Novel
Harry Sidebottom's knowledge base lifts his novels above the standard type of 'Roman army adventure' [and there are several series by competent authors]. He encompasses a great deal of historical data in his writing [perhaps 'tweeked' a little to adjust timing or personalities] and leaves the reader demanding more.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Not Bad
Warrior of Rome depicts the Roman empire in the later part. It's a good read and I would recommend for the entertainment value alone I prefer books set in Julio/Claudia times I give 4 stars but it's almost a five to be fair.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good read from a well researched story by Harry Sidebottom.
If you like fact based historical fiction about Roman Warriors then Harry Sidebottom is a good easy read. You need to read his first book to this one as it is Part 2 of the story.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
