David McK (3505 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.

This thought provoking drone strike thriller is a tense and exciting watch with some excellent work from Helen Mirren, Aaron Paul and the much missed Alan Rickman. I liked how the film satisfyingly explores the political, ethical and emotional implications of ending a human life thousands of miles away from behind a computer screen. It was quite disturbing and sadly very realistic to see politicians arguing over the positives of murder. Well worth checking out.
