This book immediately caught my attention while I was scrolling through pages of reading opportunities.I have a good assortment of Brit clients and friends which when coupled with my love of history and the suspense  genre, made purchasing this book a no brainer.I needed a book to keep me highly engrossed for a few hours as I had to travel and hate waiting.  My solution is finding books that (hopefully) stand above the rest.I was pleasantly  surprised (and this is not a spoiler but a heads up) when I came across the maps the author placed throughout this read.  This is definitely an author who goes the extra mile for his readers.To further prove this point, the noting of the time of day throughout this read was a nice and also helpful touch.The story is a suspenseful mix of past and present.  Take a mix of Romans, mercenaries and ordinary people, throw in a chick wielding a trident, Liberius and some excellent helicopter action and you get the gist of where this story is heading.  Now multiply that feeling by 100.I like plots that have that extra oomph to them – this is definitely a story that hits the mark.A++++ all the way.
