This is the beginning of a saga about a young Parthian prince who takes on the might of the Roman army and is defeated and enslaved and taken back to Italy. He is released in the slave uprising by Sparticus and becomes the game breaker in many of Sparticus's battles with the Roman army. Whilst the tale is brutal, and life is cheap,it reflects life at this point of history where slavery, crucifiction and all forms of death were comon. Very enjoyable story that can stand alone.
