This is, essentially, as straight re-telling of the Easter story, as seen through the eyes of a Roman centurion (Joseph Fiennes) who was present at the crucifixion of Christ and then put in charge of finding his body when it disappears from the tomb, initially believing that body to have been stolen by the disciples but then coming to believe otherwise and joining the disciples in Galilee before going his own way.

David McK (3857 KP) rated Challenger (Roman Arena, #2) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

The second novella in Simon Scarrow's 'Arena' series of books, this picks up almost directly after the events of the first.

It also follows pretty much the same pattern as before, with Pavo (who, despite the impression given by the blurb, is the main character rather than Macro) training for another bout in the Roman Arena, while political machinations go on in the background, and with the final chapter concerned with that bout alone.
