Fire in the East

Just started reading fiction again. This time Hary Sidebottom’s Warror of Rome.  I am learning more then I need to know about Roman military siege tactics …. love it. Should have it finished tomorrow, then only four more to go.

From his website:

The Warrior of Rome novels are set during the great crisis of the Roman empire in the mid-Third Century AD. The first three – Fire in the East, King of Kings, and Lion of the Sun – focus on the eastern half of the empire and on the war-torn borders with the rising power of Sassanid Persia. In the second three – The Caspian Gates, The Wolves of the North, and The Amber Road – the action shifts to the north; to the Black Sea and the client kingdoms of the Caucasus mountains, the Crimea and the steppes, and the great rivers that could be followed north to the Baltic.
