This is the last in the farmer-turned-Emperor series of Videssos books. I don't know if this is loosely based on real Roman history or not, but it seems like considering the author's tendency to do that. It always seems if the Empire is on the verge of disaster, going from one crisis to another. Maybe that was historically normal, but it makes the books feel a bit chaotic. Good, but not great. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

As Krispos leads his legions with his three sons, against the rebels, one son disappears into the rebel ranks. Then the renegades seize the day, and Krispos wages an ever more desperate war against an implacable foe that would not scruple to set brother against brother, father against son....

Now, as I might have mentioned at the top of this review this is by Harry Turtledove and if you know much about the Eastern Roman Empire, you may find a few echoes here and there in these works and this is because Harry Turtledove is also Professor Turtledove whose area of specialisation is Byzantium History. Rather neatly, these echoes aren't too overwhelming and he also manages to keep the cast of characters down to a reasonable number, not something he always manages to do. :-) ( )
