The third book in John Stack's 'Masters of the Sea' series, this continues the story of Atticus from the previous two novels. As I've said before, it's an interesting setting - the Roman Navy during the First Punic War - due to it's relative unfamiliarity to the reader: we're all aware of Hannibal crossing the Alps (which was during the Second Punic War), and of the might of the Roman army, but I can think of very few other books dealing with their navy!

This starts with teh Roman army defeated at Tunis, and then details the repercussions from this defeat and various other naval battles the fleet participates in. The novel also covers a long(ish) period of time: the events within are, sometimes, maybe a year or so apart.

Readable enough, but not a brilliant piece of writing.

lots of good humour and insight (0 more)
A really good read and full of laughs. It details the highs and lows of a fan more famous now for saying 'Unbelievable Jeff' than being a footballer. Its hard to believe that he had such a varied career both in playing and managing. From the highs of the Navy to managing Stoke, this book contains a plethora of information for all readers to enjoy :)
