I've just ordered Simon Scarrow's second novel and John Maddox Roberts sixth, and wondered if anyone else has had a chance to read / review them? Roberts' books one and two were just reissued, making them a lot easier to get than chancing it on Half.com, and I really like his characters, even if they are more mystery than army. <p>Aulus<br>

Just finished Robert's 'No one loves a Centurion" and I found it to be a good addition to the collection. Number six in a series, our hero is just joining Julius Caesar as he is beginning his manuvering against the Helvetians. I think the book set in Alexandria to be my favorite, but this is worth the read.<br>

For some reason, it appears Maddox Roberts publishes in Germany first, and is up to volumne 9 in the series? I wonder if anyone can peruse amazon.co.de and double check that.<br>

I've just finished Scarrow's "Eagles Conquest" which follows our heros of the second Augusta into Britain with the invasion. Great action, characterizations are fun and lively, a really dastardly villain, and a twist at the end. I think even better than the first volume. Only available from UK book sellers it appears.<br>
