Superbly written and packed with historical detail and action. -- Kate Atherton * SUNDAY EXPRESS *
What a fantastic writer Douglas Jackson is . . . Glory of Rome is a thrilling novel from the outset and culminates in a brilliant battle sequence that had me on the edge of my seat. * FOR WINTER NIGHTS *

The novel can be read as a standalone without any loss of enjoyment. A gripping tale from start to finish, and you will find it difficult to put down. Recommended. * HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW *
