NA This is the final book in Turtledove's original series taking us to the (literally) magical world of Videssos where the Roman legion commanded by Marcus Scarus had been transported when they had confronted Viridovix the Gaul and his magic sword. In this book, the forces of Videssos, depleted by the civil wars that had put Thorisin Garvas on the throne, faced the forces of Yezd and its wizard prince Avshar. This was a great read with plenty of action of all sorts, mundane and magical. This book does begin to display some of Turtledove's tendencies to overpopulate his books but it doesn't generally get too much out of control. This is the conclusion of the first Legion series. While the author isn't going in the direction I'm sure most readers hoped, that doesn't mean this isn't a good book. I really enjoyed the Legion series and this last book was not a disappointment for me. If you expect happy endings that meet your expectations of what should happen, you might be a little disappointed, but it was good. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

With his secret betrayed to the Emperor, Marcus is banished--to do the impossible. Book Four of The Videssos Cycle In Videssos the city, tribune Marcus Scaurus was bored. The legion that had been magically transported to this strange world was far away. But the Emperor's niece Alypia was near--and willing. When their secret trysts were betrayed, Emperor Thorisin Gavras was forced to condemn Marcus as a traitor--but with a promise of freedom and Alypia, if he could reclaim a rebel province from a fanatic usurper, with no military aid. With only centurion Gaius Philippus, Marcus set out to try the seemingly impossible task. But the fates conspired against them, driving them further westward, into the innermost sanctum of Videssos' great enemy Yezd--and toward the torture chambers of the evil, deathless wizard-prince Avshar. But behind them, without orders, the men of the legion were on the march! Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
