Rendition In Favor Of Books Rome's Executioner (Vespasian #2)

Thracia, 30 AD: Even after four years military service at the edge of the Roman world, Vespasian can't escape the tumultuous politics of an Empire on the brink of disintegration. His patrons in Rome have charged him with the clandestine extraction of an old enemy from a fortress on the banks of the Danube before it falls to the Roman legion besieging it. Vespasian's mission is the key move in a deadly struggle for the right to rule the Roman Empire. The man he has been ordered to seize could be the witness that will destroy Sejanus, commander of the Praetorian Guard and ruler of the Empire in all but name. Before he completes his mission, Vespasian will face ambush in snowbound mountains, pirates on the high seas, and Sejanus's spies all around him. But by far the greatest danger lies at the rotten heart of the Empire, at the nightmarish court of Tiberius, Emperor of Rome and debauched, paranoid madman.

Assess Containing Books Rome's Executioner (Vespasian #2)
I finished the book today and am still recovering from the shocking ending... Although some scenes in the book are really horrific, I have to say this second part of the Vespasianus series is as good as the first. Simply because the story is so varied. First of all, there are the geographical changes. Secondly, there is the change from an action-based story (in Thracia) to the intrigues of the Emperor, Antonia and Seianus. I must add here that it was a bit difficult to fllow the storyline

I cannot tell if the author is improving or if I have become immured to his writing style. This book is an improvement over the first: clearly, Magnus (Vespasian's right hand man) is the star of the book and his dialogue is one of my primary reasons for continuing to read this series.On the subject of dialogue, I know that the author is an award-winning screenwriter and OxBridge graduate but I have hard time believing it when, in attempting to describe a night spent with Caenis after being away

This is a good follow up to the first Vespasian book. The surprising thing is that, this book mainly describes the political situation in Rome at that time, and still manages to be a good, exciting and not-too difficult read. The political machinations of the senatorial classes and, how they use manipulation and intrigue to further the long-term position of their family, is actually fascinating. Don't be put off by the political nature of the book though; there is plenty of sex, violence and

I didn't realize it but I guess I started this series about one of Rome's "good" emperors with book 2 of the series. However, the story, woven around the downfall of the infamous Praetorian Prefect Sejanus, stood on its own quite nicely. There is no indication in history that Vespasian and his brother Sabinus conspired with the Lady Antonia, Tiberius' sister-in-law, to overthrow Sejanus to protect the reign of Tiberius. However, a successful conspiracy is one in which the participants remain

This is the second book I've read by Robert Fabbri and I've really enjoyed reading the political ups and downs or Rome. I have ordered the third and fourth in this series and can't wait to start reading them.Reading these books makes me more interested in the lives of the Romans and how ancient Rome changed over time from the senate and emperor to the gods they worshiped and even their daily lives.

A good, well-written instalment of Fabbri's Vespasian series. Though, for me at least, this episode doesn't feel quite as memorable as the opener, though that may just as easily be because the level of action & bloodshed drops dramatically to leave room for the political intrigue & manoeuvres dealing with Sejanus and his followers.I guess that this suffers from the typical ills of a second instalment in a series in that rather than being focussed on giving the reader someone and

great second book, less fight and war action and especially second part of the book more intrigues, politics about the age of first Roman emperors. Not only Fabbri tells a tale about the rise of Vespasian ( partly fiction), it also describes the emperors and their rise/fall that came before him. It really describes how decadent the emperors at that time were and you understand how they finally ended up as mad men.Must read for historical fiction lovers!
