Soon I had inveigled my way into his confidence and got on his list of beta readers which is really nice because I get a signed copy of the books and I know that they will be worth a small fortune at some point in the future.
#PRAETORIANS GAME SEQUAL SERIES#
Well, I enjoyed the first four books in the series so much I just had to tell him and was born and began what has become a pretty cool network of authors, reviewers and other fellow travelers. I had finished reading Marius Mules IV and noticed in the About the Author section that Simon listed his Twitter handle. In fact, it is his fault I have a Twitter account. Who would have thought that me, a humble yet insightful reader and reviewer of books, would make it to the most prestigious blog tour of SJA Turney? I have known Simon for a couple years now, a relationship brought forth through the great bringer together of old friends and maker of new ones, social media. I had finished reading Marius Mules IV and noticed in the About the Author section that Simon listed his Tw Wow, this is sure exciting stuff. Galloping from the villa on horseback so badly injured!? Some other inconsistencies. There were some things that stretched credulity, for example, a couple of deus ex machina episodes and although wounds were serious, they seemed to heal quickly enough that he could participate in the final scenes, racing against time to warn and save the emperor.

Rutilius is more human he can be a klutz and when faced with the choice of killing his nemesis, the bully Scopius, cannot do so, as well as he chooses not to kill a roommate at the villa when he has the opportunity. In my opinion, Rutilius is superior to the author's previous Roman military hero, the too-perfect Fronto. The torture scene was gruesome enough I had to pause then resume later, although the book as a whole was a page-turner. I was breathless at the last few chapters where he overhears the plot, what he does to eavesdrop on the cabal and at what follows.

"From the Legion to the Guard, from battles to the deep intrigue of court, Praetorian: The Great Game is packed with great characters, wonderfully researched locations and a powerful plot." - Robin Carter. "Entertaining, exciting and beautifully researched" - Douglas Jackson In a race against time to save the Emperor, Rufinus will be introduced, willing or not, to the great game. What seems a straightforward, if terrifying, assignment soon descends into Machiavellian treachery and peril as everything in which young Rufinus trusts and believes is called into question and he faces warring commanders, Sarmatian cannibals, vicious dogs, mercenary killers and even a clandestine Imperial agent. Tasked with uncovering a plot against the newly-crowned emperor Commodus, his mission takes him from the cold Danubian border all the way to the heart of Rome, the villa of the emperor’s scheming sister, and the great Colosseum. Promoted to the elite Praetorian Guard in the thick of battle, a young legionary is thrust into a seedy world of imperial politics and corruption.
