Shelf wear (about what one would expect) to the book and jacket which is clipped next to the price. Clean and unmarked. First printing stated at copyright page. An historical novel set in the time of Augustus Caesar. "It is a tale of the legionnaires- and their officers, of Cinna, who was a sort of Roman Patton, of cowardice and courage. And always of brutality, in peace and war. Perhaps the remoteness of the period makes one read and know it with a kind of detachment. Gregory Solon, in a memorable first novel, makes you feel it too. This might be read as predecessor to Helen White's The Four Rivers of Paradise, a story of the sack of Rome, as a story of the turn in the tide of victory which made the sack of Rome possible. Solon is a writer to watch." - Kirkus Review. Most items ship with free delivery confirmation, electronic tracking and jacket protectors (generally over $10.00) if applicable. Clean recycled packing material will be used when possible.
