For those who like that sort of thing...
...that is the kind of thing they like (to quote Jean Brodie). I must admit at the outset that I don’t like this kind of book and I didn’t like this one. A... READ MORE

Better than I expected
I am not usually a fan of this genre but I would have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. Do not be put off with the size of the book, once you start r... READ MORE
Excellently written
I've never read any books by Conn Iggulden before, and my experience of historical fiction is limited to only two other books, so this book was a departure... READ MORE
Couldn't put it down!!
This is riveting stuff and Iggulden has pulled out all the stops on this one. Masterful storytelling cleverly interwoven with facts

It is simply one of the best books I... READ MORE
Interesting subject; needs a bit more storytelling
This book dealt with a period and place of history that I was unfamiliar with, but am now very interested in, and to that extent it was a good read. As a n... READ MORE
Ripping Yarn
A dauntingly lengthy book quickly became a page-turner. Set in the distant past in far-off lands, Iggulden's book still has a very contemporary feel to it.... READ MORE
Brilliant
I'd previously read some of Conn Ingeldon's Caesar novels and felt that they were a bot long winded and had dragged a bit. After a bit of a slow start I fo... READ MORE
