Rating: - Great Story!! 5 Stars
I am a big fun of Valerio Massimo Manfedi books . I have read most of his books which are all historical novels whith very accurate histrorical facts.
This books is his only book That is not based on ancient history but rather on modern Greek history .
This in fact is a thriller unfold in modern era but is seeking its answers back in ancient civilizations .

Few authors can be better equipped to write about the subject of Rome and its Legions than Manfredi.

Rating:  - Boring
Maybe I've read too many racy thrillers but I found the story totally pedestrian and unexciting. A simple tale of revenge was dressed up with a lot of mystical elements and historical bits thrown in to complicate the plot. This is the first book I've read from the author and perhaps his historical epics are more impressive but I'm not motivated enough to find out from reading this book.
Rating: - Manfredi - always a good read.
This is one of my favorite authors. My attention span is much too short to read from history books and this man is the perfect fix. He writes historical novels in such a way as to give depth and scope, making it interesting, clear, and so very captivating. The bonus is having conversations with friends who think I'm actually pretty smart!
