Gladiator

Product Information

I’m not a huge fan of reverse harem but with alien-looking aliens and a really tough heroine of color it was hard to pass up.

As soon as I set foot in Rome, I fell in love with that magnificent city’s history—in particular Vestal Virgins, the most powerful women in the ancient world. She plays to the history of Rome, and the conflict and dynamics unique to the time period so well as you journey through an impossible romance that refuses to die, much like its hero and heroine. Reading the final chapter of Gladiator, you get the feeling that Philip Wylie simply didn't know what to do with his superhuman protagonist. As a woman of color, impassioned reader, and author to boot, I'm always advocating for inclusion in my romance reads.In each hour of the day we meet a new character - from a senator to a slave girl, a gladiator to an astrologer, watchmen to washerwomen - and discover the fascinating details of their daily lives. And everyone is quite happy to deploy the most wicked of tactics and ludicrous plans to get to the throne! It is a scene so poignant that I always wish it would have been saved until later on in the film, thereby giving it even more weight.

Maximus is a loyal and brave soldier, betrayed by Commodus, his life destroyed, but determined to have revenge on the man responsible for the death of his family. Marcus, a gladiator in my father’s ludus, was compelled to my presence to learn of Rome’s gods, her legends. Vita, nicknamed ‘Little Owl’ by her father, is an unlikely hero – but when her father is murdered she has to uncover the truth, even if it means finding unlikely friends.This series is unique in that it will be able to provide large format ORIGINAL photos up to full A4 landscape format width, which is at least 50% larger than any standard book can deliver. Engagingly written, it smoothly shares a real wealth of knowledge and detail about Ancient Rome without falling into the trap of ‘info-dumping’. This is a rip-roaring, very funny story that is packed full of illustrations – the story is almost told in the manner of a graphic novel, or comic strip.

Pero el emperador muere y sus deseos no se pueden ver cumplidos y su hijo toma el mando de manera un tanto irregular.

You guys are such a force for good and I am a passionate supporter of Indie booksellers, so I'm so happy this worked out well (I'd love to know how many books were sold if you have it to hand - it felt like quite a lot! Hour by hour, we follow various Romans as they go about their day, seeing many different jobs and possible fates ahead for a whole cast of characters. What began in high school as a way to speed up recovery from injury rapidly turned into an all-consuming addiction.
