- Library Journal


“A fascinating alternate history novel...The Reader is immersed in the culture of Rome.”

- Midwest Book Review


"First-rate, intriguing … John Maddox Roberts … proves that he's perfectly at home in the urban sprawl of ancient Rome … He does an admirable job of navigating through a difficult and challenging conceit, providing plenty of reflective material for history buffs while constructing an intriguing story line that pays tribute to the ingenuity of the Romans.”

- Booklist


on the SPQR novels:

"Wonderful ... All the wild imaginative stimulation of the best detective fiction."

- Marion Zimmer Bradley, author of The Mists of Avalon
