The Last Legion

The Last Legion - Valerio Massimo Manfredi The end of the Roman Empire comes as the barbarians start expanding their influence.
The last Emperor is imprisoned, along with his tutor who originally came from Brittania.
Some survivors from the last Legion try to rescue him, gaining new allies on the way.

Their destiny is the birth of a whole new set of legends...

This was an enjoyable book, moved along at a good pace with a small cast of interesting characters.
There is the occasional deus ex machina moment to get them out of some seemingly impossible situation, but not everything works according to their plan.

An interesting take on the end of one Empire and the start of a new one.
