traveller1 's review for:

Semper Fidelis by Ruth Downie

---

Our good Dr finds himself tied to the end of a wagon and being led to his death for the murder of a centurion. Unsurprisingly, as there are more novels extant in the series, he avoids this fate. Thanks to his barbarian wife, his friend and colleague Valens, and the emperor Hadrian, the true murderer is discovered, then hidden, and the crime turned into a suicide in order to protect a Praetorian conspiracy that led to the murder. Against a background of mistreated British recruits to the army. All fun.
