Chronicle During Books Enemy of Rome (Gaius Valerius Verrens #5)

Summer, AD 69. Rome and its empire are in turmoil, caught in the coils of a desperate and destructive civil war.

The emperor Otho is dead by his own hand and his rival, Aulus Vitellius, occupies the imperial throne. However, a new challenge has arisen in the East - the legions of Titus Flavius Vespasian have declared him their Emperor.

In the dry heat of an August morning, Gaius Valerius Verrens prepares for his last day on earth. Wrongly accused of deserting his legion on the field of Bedriacum, it seems he is destined to die a coward's death.

Then the executioner's hand is stayed. Vitellius' enemies will spare the life of the man who was once Hero of Rome if he pledges allegiance to Vespasian and his cause. Valerius - tired of the endless slaughter and hoping that he might be reunited with his lost love - agrees. And so he must battle his way south to Rome in order to persuade his friend Vitellius to stand down for the greater good of the city, its people and the Empire.

But this is civil war and this is Rome, and Valerius - his loyalties divided and branded an enemy of the people - is trapped in a maze of distrust, corruption, betrayal and blood-letting . . .

Evaluation Containing Books Enemy of Rome (Gaius Valerius Verrens #5)

Book Five and not only the series, but the readers are beginning to flagnot a bit of it!This is, to quote another blogger, "brilliant! This could be the exuberant first novel from a fresh new author, this could be the final novel in a long series where everything comes satisfactorily together. This could be the best novel in the series - so far (#5 is as far as Ive got).This period of Romes history is fairly well populated with authors just now. Ive come across people like Robert Fabbri (his

Good book, clear storyline.

This character and his side kick certainly grow on you.

This was a gamble that didn't pay off for me.Although the book was written well enough and lead me to DNF at a later stage than I thought I might, it failed to really grab my interest. I went into this knowing this was about civil war however that was literally all the book was about- no other interesting story- just battle after battle and it just fell short and became a bit repetitive and boring for me.Not for me.

I am hooked on the GVV series. Detailed descriptions of day to day life amd intrigue in imperial Rome make visualizing characters and context easy.

The quality of this superb series never wanes and Enemy of Rome takes it to even higher heights. Valerius is an honourable man. This makes it more difficult than ever for him to survive in these brutal, dangerous times. Superb.
