A prequel to Skystone. Does a good job of setting the stage for the 30 year old books - I'll go back and read them now. A bit long on explanation of much of the Roman army but once you get into the story it's well written and entertaining.

A extensively researched historical fiction. Heavy on history and details, light on character development.
I had first read The Skystone and then this prequel. It was not what I thought it would be. Certainly isn't as character driven as the Skystone.
Looking forward to continuing with The Singing Sword.

As an avid fan of the Dream of Eagles series, I enjoyed the prequel, but I'm not convinced it would stand up on its own. The plotting is odd - lots of people sitting around drinking wine, listening to someone talk about stuff that happened somewhere else.
