I enjoyed this new book from Simon Scarrow. It gets more into navy for those naval fans, with some interesting ideas. If a centurion was transferred to the fleet, would he take a pay cut? Did that actually happen where centurions passed between land and sea forces with regularity?
The story is a lot of fun. If you are observant, you may see reference to another author's "universe", but I think the inclusion wasn't jarring or distasteful, more like a homage to another writer.
Macro and Cato in 45AD go hunting for the pirates who have stolen a lost set of prophecies, which reflect upon the future of the Roman people. Plenty of action for most readers!

and what is the new address of Simon Scarrow's website?
The old one has been taken over by Scarrow Brothers.....
