Its the age old question for AH fans....what if the roman empire had not collapsed.Obviously you can tell from the book cover and the summary that the empire survived in some form into the Modern era, so the author before launching into the book spends a number of pages almost setting the scene in terms of historical context, he picked a very good POD in the Emperors Justinian attempt to recapture the Western Empire and also explains as to why it succeeded this time rather than originally, he then goes on to give you an outline of the empires history into the modern era along with maps as well, very well done.Onto the book, the story was done very well and was interesting to follow sometimes I was routing for the romans sometimes for the Saxons, the characters were interesting and developed well.As another reviewer said, I would love to read a sequel or other books set in this new and alternate world.Phil
