Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

The discovery of the Star Scroll, a repository of forgotten spells of sorcery, threatens the Sunrunners as Andry attempts to master the ancient knowledge, Pol seeks to touch the minds of dragons, and an old enemey reawakens.


These books get better with each one! They are a bit slow going but you realise how much you need that extra information as you get towards the end! Now not many books bring a tear but when Rohan and Sioned tell Pol about his birth and parentage I couldn’t stop myself! Over 3 books and they are thick books you come to love and despise these characters. It’s definitely a an epic journey. I’m looking forward to seeing what comes from the next set of books.
  
While this may be book no 13 in Colin Falconer's 'Epic Adventure' series, it's actually only the second of his works I have read (after "Silk Road").

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.
