Master of Rome (Masters of the Sea, Bk 3)
Master of Rome - Masters of the Sea, Bk 3 Author:John Stack Although a common Greek, Atticus has risen by outstanding meritorious service to Commander of the Roman fleet. He is regarded with reserve and suspicion by both the legionaries and the elitist Roman establishment. Prejudice and nepotism are rife, but he has little time to contemplate his position as the Carhtaginians are on... more »ce again on the attack. Their superior sailing skills and strength, together with the Roman admiral's foolhardy attitude towards the seasonal Mediterrnanean storms, cause appalling losses to the Roman ships. But it is Atticus who is blamed, despite his better judgement and warnings having been overruled and ignored.
Disgraced before the Senate of Rome, with his reputation in tatters, Atticus must return to battle the resurgent Carthaginian navy, whose commander has a personal score to settle in a battle that will determine the survival of the empire.« less
