Reseña del libro "Marcellus Strabo-Book 2 DECURION-A Novel oF Julius Caesar's Gallic Wars (en Inglés)"
STRABO IS NOW A PROUD AND SUCCESSFUL DECURION, BUT HIS ACHIEVEMENT IS NOT WITHOUT COSTMarcellus Strabo has transitioned from an unwilling legionnaire to a respected, battle-hardened Decurion of the Tenth Legion, Equestris. The turbulent events leave little time or opportunity for Raven and Strabo to resolve personal concerns until a horrifying event becomes a consequential influence for reconciling their differences.Praise for Strabo"Mr. Holtry's new Roman series set in the days of Caesar promises to be a worthy successor to his Arrius trilogy. Marcellus Strabo, the son of a Roman general and a Gaulish noblewoman is a wastrel and womanizer. His father has him "conscripted" into the Roman Army as a legionary. Marcellus proves his worth, rising to command a group of cavalrymen and to be Caesar's translator and that of Caesar's right-hand man, Tribune Setarius. He plays a large part in both Caesar's Helvetian and Suebian campaigns. Let's not forget a romantic interlude with a young Gaulish woman he has known from childhood when he had visited his mother's village. Marcellus still feels suspended between two worlds, Roman and Gaulish, because of his mixed heritages and really neither wholly either."-Jane, Goodreads Librarian"Galloping into Caesar's Gallic Wars spear in hand, we follow Strabo and Raven on a host of adventures. A riveting jaunt into the brutal world of Rome that you won't soon forget. Highly recommended."-Daniel Greene, author of the Northern Wolf series"...Holtry's rich, multi-layered plot, smart dialogue and spirited action deliver not only a master class in the tribes of Gaul and war with the Romans, but also the life of Roman soldiers and the interpersonal relationships that existed between Romans and the tribes they governed. If you love historical fiction and Roman history, you won't be disappointed."-Eric Schumacher, best-selling author of Viking Age fiction"...Julius Caesar is focused not only on making Gaul a Roman province, but expansion into Belgae, Germania and Britannia as well. This character-driven and action-packed novel rings with superlative historical and tactical detail far surpassing others in this genre. Ride along with Strabo into the hellish turmoil of Caesar's ancient battles."-Thomas J. Howley, author of Wolf of Clontarf - The Irish, the Vikings and the Foreigners of the World
