A passion for Ancient History drew me to this novel which is set at the end of the third century BC. The narrator of the exciting story is a young Roman. His father’s tragic death sets him on a path to revenge; along the way he meets men driven by greed, vanity and power and others who strive for what is honourable in life, particularly in politics and war. This quest for excellence encourages the reader to consider what mattered then, what matters now and whether time has made any difference at all. Paul Waters writes with remarkable eloquence; his debut novel is a joy to read.
