This time, we're back in the dying days of the Roman Republic, just as one of the triumvirate of Julius Caesar, Pompey and Crassus was starting to break down, especially after Crassus led his men to a disastrous defeat by the Parthians at the Battle of Carrhae (which opens this novel).
Taken prisoner by the victors, and sold into slavery, this follows a small group of the Roman survivors as they attempt to (first) escape and then make their way back to Rome - a journey that covers a greater distance, and takes in many more wonders, than any of them had ever participated in (or seen, or believed to have existed) before.
So, a travelogue of sorts.
Well worth a read.

The story of Ezio, allows us an insight as to his character development, as he grows from a young man seeking revenge, to a Master Assassin, seeking to bring down the Templar Order for the fate of the world depends upon the succession of the Assassin's. Rome is yet another brilliant setting for the Assassin's Creed franchise to take place and Ezio is certainly one of the most interesting Assassin's to follow throughout the franchise.
With help yet again from his previous allies, including Leonardo Da Vinci, the story told here is one of mystery and excitement.
I'm not sure how many times I can praise Bowden for his work on this series. All I can say is that he does not fail to entertain and reveal a new experience to the world of Assassin's Creed. If you have read my previous reviews then you know how much I praise this man for his work on the series of Novels he has written for the fans. Each one delivers a new thrilling experience and each one stays true to the events of the video game as much as possible. Of course each person who plays the video game plays differently. These novels give more of a sense of what the Assassin's themselves would have truly done in the events that unfold.
