Summary
AD 383. Emperor Magnus Maximus orders the northern legions of Britannia to withdraw. The lumbering retreat is fraught with danger, as local tribes and warlords seek to capitalize on the power vacuum left by the Romans. This is the story of Atticus, the 15-year-old son of a cohort tribune from the sixth legion. Trapped behind the walls of a garrison, with only an aging centurion and his men for protection, Atticus must use both ingenuity and bravery to survive.

Enjoyable Roman romp in Britannia
Note: I was given a promo code for this book at my request but the review is voluntarily given and free of influence.
A well written book about the Roman withdrawal from Britannia. As the author states his writing was influenced and inspired by Simon Scarrow!s Eagle series. If you enjoyed those you'll enjoy this.
My only complaint is that the story is a bit short, but I'm sure that like most writers, later books will be longer.
Recommended!

Great first book!
As the author indicates this book was inspired by Simon Scarrow's Eagles of the Empire series and after finishing it you can see the similarities so if you liked them then you will like this. I would say that Simon Scarrow's series is the better read but there is not much between them.
Overall I enjoyed this story and I already have the next installment ready to read

Solid but no surprises
I recieved a review copy of this book. Both the writing and narration are good, and the story is solid. My only criticism would be that the story itself leaves no room for surprises, feeling a little short.

Great 1st book
The book is meant for young adults, but I enjoyed it, and feel it is suitable for adults. The authors inspiration is the Eagles of Empire series by Simon Scarrow, which I have read all, and I cannot see any reason why Atticus and Rufus can't be the next Makro & Cato. I would prefer if any further books were written for the adult market like the Eagles of the Empire, and they were longer reads. Narration was very good.
