review 1: I love this series. While there's ups and downs (true for all series) I can honestly say I've enjoyed all the books in this series. Blood Crows is the return of two of my favorite heroes and seeing how they handle situations. As always, things are never simple with Macro and Cato...

review 1: One to add to the endless list of Roman "mystery" novels.Relatively little time is spent on familiarising readers with the two main characters. It's arguable that that was because this is over a dozen books into the series so the author didn't feel it necessary. To me however it ...

review 1: What happens when you*'re stuck in the Barcelona airport for 3 hours (and, therefore, most of the reading material is in Spanish) is that you pick up something terrible just because it's there and just because you've read the other book available in English. Anyway, you finish th...

review 1: This was a great step back into the best bits of the Simon Scarrow series. I love the big battles, scale and desperation rather than the cloak and dagger the series has more recently bent to. The best way to describe this is Gritty, there are some fantastic fights and battle scen...

review 1: I like Simon Scarrow. His books are an easy read, mixing a little bit of history with some great action. It's not a literary prize winner - but then it doesn't pretend to be. What I liked about Praetorian is the back and forth of the two main characters (Macro and Cato). There is...

review 1: Eagle series can be divided into two sets. One has our heroes involved in fighting, other in covert work. This book falls into latter category.Cato and Macro have to go undercover in Praetorian Guard to uncover plot to assassinate eperor Claudius, guided by ever present Narcissus...

review 1: A very good accounting of the Siege of Malta in 1565 by the Ottoman Army against the Knights of St. John, told through a historical fiction perspective. "Sword and Scimitar" succeeds more than it fails and is incredibly vivid in language and description. This is the first book ...

review 1: To put this simply, the four books that comprise the 'Revolution' quartet are a parallel biography of Napoleon Bonaparte, (the corsican who almost made us all learn French), and The Duke of Wellington, (who was Irish and is credited with preventing that outcome). Neither is a ver...

review 1: Simon Scrow- Street Fighter [Gladiator#2] [Läsutmaning40]Plot. So I'm a huge fan of gladiators and especially the series of Spartacus, that brutal tv show with lots and lots of blood and sex. I just love the scenery in that serie, it's unnatural and fake in a gorgeou...

review 1: Keeping character development going across a long story arc isn't always easy, and while in the case of the Legion series there isn't exactly a meta-plot to keep to, there seems to be a feeling from some reviewers that this book wasn't quite as good as its predecessors. In fairn...
