Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First I read Ship of Rome, got addicted, and due to the high cost of ebooks, with regret skipped Captain of Rome and bought Master of Rome. Ever since my purchase of a Kindle and then going nuts and adding an iPad (Kindle is great for daytime reading, be it in the bus or by the poolside, and iPad is terrific for nighttime as well as Netflix movies) I've been bankrupting myself with e-books and I was determined to curb my spending like a drunken sailor ... :-)
Well, 5 AM this morning I finished reading Master of Rome, the third book in the series, felt orphaned after saying bye bye to Atticus, and now am chomping at the bits not to jump and spend yet another $9 to buy Captain of Rome, the 2nd book in the series.
After all, Ruth Downie's Caveat Emptor and Nemesis by Lindsay Davis are lined up on the sidelines and shouting, Buy ME, Buy Me!
Good stuff, John Stack's novels! Atticus Perennis, Roman of Greek blood, is a very likeable character, ditto his 'pure' Roman friend Septimus, and these tales are one heck of a merry go ride. During the battle scenes you live in the bodies and minds of the various characters thus enjoying a multi-faceted view of their modus operandi, during a storm in the high seas, you are right there on the deck, feeling the bone-chilling sway of the ship beneath your feet, during senate debate you have a front row seat and burn to leap forward and grasp the greedy, plotting, low-lifers by their toga and ... and ... and ....
Look I really wanted to write a terrific review but got no time, gotta click and download Captain of Rome....
Five stars for enjoyable reading. Good, light, crisp, well researched Roman tales for the armchair warrior. Enjoy.
