As a reader and reviewer I have very mixed feelings about this book.  I am a very big fan of this type of fiction, having followed the 1632 series since its inception, and several other books series of this type.The concept is pretty interesting, a team of highly trained Special Ops soldiers end up transported to ancient Rome.  Their first thought is don't do anything to screw up the future, (our present).  That doesn't happen--of course.What amazes me is that these are highly trained US and other European military experts.  Most of them have at least a BS degree in some subject, and I would assume some knowledge of modern technology.  Instead of using that knowledge they are happy to keep breaking things and killing people.  They keep doing a lot of really stupid things, and not making even the most basic improvements (Stirrups anyone).I did not notice any major errors in editing except for some small spelling errors that were not that significant.  What really irritated me were the plot issues with the hero and his battle buddy.  Did no one ever tell Mr. Crighton the old saw about eating and bath room habits?  I don't care how sexy she is you don't have a relationship with some one in your unit.  They may be dead tomorrow.I am going to rate this as 3 stars.  It was a pretty good read and kept my interest.  The price was right (free).
