Arms of Nemesis by Steven Saylor
5.0
Again, the author has shown a splendid way of transporting the reader back in time and has shown an intimate look into the world of a roman citizen - Gordianus the Finder.
The second novel plays 10 years after the first, during the time of Spartacus' revolt and has a somewhat more disclosed ambiance (a nice alternation that proves he can set different plots in different ambiances in a splendid way). Again the plot is highly thrilling and the ending (although in some way very tragic) is also highly satisfying. Steven Saylor definitely puts a lot of work into his books (the research on all the different aspects of Roman life such as the food, poisons, art etc.) and undoubtedly is a great author!
