IMHO it is definitely worth a read. I had been put off by the cover, the title and the blurb. Then I decided to give it ago because it is set in the IIIrd Century which is my favourite era of the Empire. Well written - though the mix of Latin and English terms for Roman roles, ranks and so on is a wee bit irritating. Good characters and a decent enough plot. Bodes well for the next 2 installments.
