A review by traveller1
Germanicus by David Wishart

4.0

I am giving this novel 4 stars, not because it is quiet so great, but because of the explanation of the Germanicus mystery. The cause of the death of Germanics, and the ramifications have been debated for two millennia.

The belief that he was a traitor actively plotting against the emperor

, well... Tantalising. The remainder of the novel is well written, though I find the supporting characters just a little too two dimensional. The protagonist is the only introspective characters, others enter and leave stage left. An enjoyable read, entertaining, fast-paced, not to be ignored if you indulge in historical who-dun-its from time to time.
