Advance Praise

"Once again I just tore through one of your books." ARC reader

I had an advance reader copy of ""Abyss"" and Greenwood has done it again. This book captures you from the first page.

Marcus was made immortal by Christ and has served the Church well. Now, someone is trying to destroy it and the world.

The novel expertly moves from one era to another, pausing to give us a taste of life in Constantinople, then slogging through the present-day jungle.

Featured Reviews

After reading the first book i was excited to see how the story was going to end and i was so happy to see that the story ended so well! Like the previous one, the book goes into present/past and yes you should read book 1 and not skip it because it is important!!! The book is well written and well researched, full of action and amazing fighting scenes and the twists are very pleasing!
Totally recommend if you like an action book with past action and a present one with a historical contest !

The second book in The last Roman trilogy, Abyss delivers action, adventure and history mixed with a good dose of fantasy. The story continues for Marcus, Isabella and Thomas as they travel around the world searching for the Spear of Longinus and the fragments of the key, in the eternal fight between good and evil.

The Last Roman: Abyss is the perfect example of an objectively good story—because it is. It’s good and well written—that doesn’t do it for me. It’s not about the author, and it’s not about me either; it’s a matter of tastes.

I like historical books, you see. They’re my number one jam, no matter the spatio-temporal location. I’m not for books that follow two timelines, right now and back then. So, if this is a problem for you too, just keep it in mind. If not, go ahead and read TLR:A because it’s one hell of a sequel.

Marcus is a superb main character, well-crafted and the embodiment of a hero. He does what has to be done after having suffered grievous personal losses. Thomas is a good villain too, and the point of contention—the spear—reads believable.

I have nothing but good things to say about the prose. The grammar is sound, the rhythm is pleasant, and the story flows really well. Greenwood is a skilled author and knows how to write. As I said, it’s a mere matter of tastes.

4 stars on GR.
