‘Fire and Sword’ is a powerful addition to the epic ‘Throne of the Caesars’ series. The Year of the Six Emperors continues in bloody and back stabbing style, covering three months of battle, both in the field and the senate. Roman versus Roman sees power changing sides frequently, it’s not a good year to be an emperor. The maps, glossary and list of characters are welcome additions and I read them all to settle myself back in, before embarking on this dramatic tale. Harry Sidebottom excels in bringing a human side to each of the characters, these men and women display both admirable and repulsive traits, sometimes at the same time. Allowing such a varied cast access to this tale, ensures it feels personal, almost touchable, from the plebs who live in the moment, through to those who scrabble and scheme for ultimate power. The story builds layer by fascinating layer ensuring ‘Fire and Sword’ is an impressively compelling and convincing tale.
