When it comes to time travel this story is thoroughly enjoyable and inventive and is a great second book in the series. Love history? You will not be disappointed because there is tons of it which stand as the background glue for everything that occurs to the 5 main characters.The group is still together, five years they have been in the Roman era just after Caligula died. Just that Caligula was not like the remembered historical person and his sister is as dangerous as she is beautiful, poses an interesting problem for Jacob who is now very much in love with the sniper Helena. Jacob is now plotting a way to restore the time line and get everyone back home but how to convince the group. Especially since he is not sure his theory is correct. It's a mess, the burden is Jacob's alone or is it? What about the Roman legionnaires who are their friends, could too much of the future already been revealed, it's not like they have hidden from society at large.Edward Crichton has a knack for twisting real Roman history into quite a plausible different reality. Despite a few typos here and there, slightly better proof reading will fix that or he can just fire the auto correct. (its anything like the one I have on my IPad it changes things and can make you look stupid). It's easy to over look the typos when the story is well written, the characters are good and there is just the right amount of love interlude homogenized with some real laugh out loud dialog.Enjoyed this sequal  to the Last Roman and wait patiently for third installment. Perfect read for time travel buffs, one of the good ones.
