Page 20 Book Review by Ivor Kindle


Book Titles... Book One ..The Forgotten Legion. Book Two ..The Silver Eagle. Book Three ..The Road to Rome. Author ..Ben Kane. Publisher ..Arrow Books.


Set in Rome before the birth of Christ in the time of Julius Caesar and the governing triumberate of Ceasar... Crassus and Pompei.


The story is centered on the fortunes of two slave children Romulus and his twin sister Fabiola. Romulus is sold into Gladiator training and his twin sister is sold into prostitution. The story follows their lives as they struggle under the Roman yolk. All the famous names of Rome's imperial past are characterised in these books...Ceasar...Brutus..and the cast of thousands play a major role as the might of the Roman empire does battle with foreign armies in foreign lands, as well as the civil wars that were central to the rise of Julius Caesar. The sheer depth of detail in the writing brings the books to life. The might of Rome is laid bare, as is the cruelty and cost of the march to empire in real life terms.


This is a wonderful trilogy of books with a captivating storyline... You will not put these books down.


...keep reading Ivor Kindle.
