An intriuging story. The perspective of a Roman citizen-soldier (officer) thrown into not only a new world, but the political intrigues of a kingdom. The author does a good job of building diverse politics and powers, while not getting mired in intrigue or masking the "facts" from the readers. The events and settings are nicely described, enough to build a vivid picture in your mind, not so much as to bore you with irrelavent details. My only two complaints are the complex names (latin, roman, etc) that made it difficult for me to remember who's who, and the re-curring disjointed grammer.

In short: Good plot and development, poor proof-reading.
