Review

Fans of R. W. Peake's densely-packed, gripping first novelMarching with Caesar: Conquest of Gaul will be overjoyed to find now its sequel, Marching with Caesar: Civil War.  
Peake....charges his narrative with huge amounts of historical detail...and yet makes it all work so smoothly that the reader turns the pages eagerly. There's history here, and character, and action enough for three novels, and all of it can be enjoyed even if readers haven't seen the first volume yet.
Very highly recommended.
