It is a very classic Gemmel, but not willing that the rich, to another author I shall have said that it's an excellent book. But Gemmel got us much more original books. What is interesting about that is to first that it is a pocket format. Writing is always nice, the twists are constant and breath hold. The most interesting are the characters are very well described, evolve over the novel, we become very endearing and manage to surprise us. Too quickly disappeared Gemmel had obviously prepared after making us an allusion to Romus and Remulus. It is a novel that is a great time playing.
