Narration Toward Books Legionary (Legionary #1)

The Roman Empire is crumbling, and a shadow looms in the east...376 AD: the Eastern Roman Empire is alone against the tide of barbarians swelling on her borders. Emperor Valens juggles the paltry border defences to stave off invasion from the Goths north of the Danube. Meanwhile, in Constantinople, a pact between faith and politics spawns a lethal plot that will bring the dark and massive hordes from the east crashing down on these struggling borders. The fates conspire to see Numerius Vitellius Pavo, enslaved as a boy after the death of his legionary father, thrust into the limitanei, the border legions, just before they are sent to recapture the long-lost eastern Kingdom of Bosporus. He is cast into the jaws of this plot, so twisted that the survival of the entire Roman world hangs in the balance...

Notice Out Of Books Legionary (Legionary #1)

This is a real page turner, a thoroughly enjoyable and gripping historical novel describing the struggles of the Eastern Roman Empire during the period of the Emperor Valens (who became co-Augustus together with his brother Valentinian in AD 364, and who then assumed the senior Augustus role in AD 375, over his nephew Gratian in the west, at the death of his brother). This novel is therefore set in a fascinating period often neglected by many writers of popular historical novels, who tend to

First, the story alone nearly rates itself four stars, I was happy to follow along and cheer for our scrawny underdog of a hero. But there are a few "buts." I admire you for self- publishing, but PLEASE have someone proofread it next time, the typos are numerous and very distracting, plus, the continual (and I mean continual) erroneous use of the word "fug" was a personal affront (I love that word, but it refers to odorous, NOT a foggy head!) And last, the verb tenses, especially on "stood" and

Simply a great read, looking forward to the next book in the series.

Gordon Doherty has done a great job in creating this great book. The main character Pavo goes from scrape to scrape, but always pulls through. There are some wonderful bit parts as well; perverted senators and backstabbing clergymen all go to make this an excellent read.If you love Roman history and great action books, this is the one for you.

When I first purchased this ebook,I have to confess that I was a little apprehensive.As a huge fan of Conn Iggulden, Simon Scarrow and David Gemmell, I was initially doubtful that this little known writer would be able to produce the goods.I'm pleased to say, I couldn't have been more wrong!'Legionary' is a fantastic story of heroism and deceit; love and camaraderie. It is well written with lavish detail of both characters and scene setting. It has gory battle scenes and enough cliff-hangers for
