A review by traveller1
The King's Gambit by John Maddox Roberts
3.0
The first in the series, and not the best. Detected a few, small irregularities in the text, but nothing bothersome. The story: betrayal and intrigue behind Pompey's plan to be sent east to replace general Lucullus, who defeated Mithridates. Tsk tsk, disloyalty.
Our Decius persistently, patriotically, with a sense of duty, and at no small risk to his own life, uncovers the guilty parties, who then use their wealth and power to avoid all blame. Decius is forced to flee Rome for Spain, as a flunky to his father.
Not bad, not bad.
