Critics Review

Scarrow weaves his heroes into real events with a deft hand. His Nero is terrifying and capricious
The Times
-
Exciting . . . even a non-fan of the genre will be enthralled. Decadent emperors, marching cohorts, grain ships, the Forum, the Circus, togas, brothels, gladiators, senators' intrigues, persecutions, the plebian mob - everything that is ancient Rome comes to life

Another superb adventure for our intrepid duo, plenty of themes applicable to today’s dystopian, corrupt and murderous existence with our current ensemble of global tyrants stooging for their psychopathic masters.
Mr Keeble as usual does a fantastic job.LazloWoodbine 2025-11-13
