Very well written! As a History Major, I enjoyed where this book took me. If you are expecting a trite werewolf story, this book is going to jump over that expectation, dealing it a mortal blow as it sweeps by. Don't let the descriptions of weapons, Roman life and mores, and Roman Battle strategies and Roman Civil Law of that time, bog you down. It's necessary to help you understand the nuances of that time, versus how we live, kill and dispense judgement in our time. If you know nothing of Ancient Rome, or need to brush up, take a moment to flip to the Appendix at the back of the book. Just enjoy the place Mr. Reade takes you, in the here and now, immerse yourself in Faustus, and wonder, if you had been thrust into his situation, would you have handled as well as he did, or would you end up with your head on a pike at sundown? Very well done, Mr. Reade.Review by Trisha A. LindseyAka Ronin Schtihl Daire
