Masters of Rome : Vespasian V

LoveReading Says

This is the fifth in Fabbri’s excellent series charting the life of Vespasian, an ordinary Roman soldier who rose through the ranks of the army and society to ultimately become emperor. The series is half swords and sandals adventure and half serious history with Fabbri very closely following what is known to have happened and taking a few liberties every now and again. Set partly in Rome and partly in Britain as Vespasian spearheads its conquest, in this book the liberties come in the form of the druids’ plot to capture Vespasian’s brother and sacrifice them both to their gods. But these only serve to make it more enjoyable and as Vespasian is torn between duty to his family and country, and is caught more and more in the political intrigues of Rome, the tensions mount.

A 'Piece of Passion' from the publisher...

‘Robert Fabbri writes with such energy and passion about a fascinating period of history. Rome’s Lost Son is laced with wonderful, vivid historical detail, gripping battle scenes and fascinating insights into the cat-and-mouse game of Imperial politics. Full of unexpected facts, Robert’s page-turning novels reveal a side to Ancient Rome not often explored in fiction. Most of all though, one feels his passion for history stitched into every line. His love of storytelling simply burns off the page.’ - Sara O’Keefe, Corvus Editorial Director
