Vespasian has been made Governor of Africa. Nero, Rome's increasingly unpredictable Emperor, orders him to journey with his most trusted men to a far-flung empire in Africa to free 200 Roman citizens who have been enslaved by a desert kingdom. Vespasian arrives at the city to negotiate their emancipation, hoping to return to Rome a hero and find himself back in favor with Nero. But when Vespasian reaches the city, he discovers a slave population on the edge of revolt. With no army to keep the population in check, it isn't long before tensions spill over into bloody chaos. Vespasian must escape the city with all 200 Roman citizens and make their way across a barren desert, battling thirst and exhaustion, with a hoard of rebels at their backs. It's a desperate race for survival, with twists and turns aplenty. Meanwhile, back in Rome, Nero's extravagance goes unchecked. All of Rome's elite fear for their lives as Nero's closest allies run amok. Can anyone stop the Emperor before Rome devours itself? And if Nero is to be toppled, who will be the one to put his head in the lion's mouth?

Critique Regarding Books Rome's Sacred Flame (Vespasian #8)

Nero as Emperor ...Governor of Africa....Vespasian's adventures just continue: one more to go to finish the series~ then what will RF write next? bring it on !

The talented Mr Fabbri's depiction of Vespasian and his times makes for grim, if enthralling, reading. The genocide anticipated in the next volume will no doubt help establish the true character of an emperor who is often acclaimed as an improvement upon the Julio-Claudians.

Another great read. Most enjoyable. Can't wait for the next chapter in th is series. Must say there's not much change to the face of politics apart from the doing away with some of them permanently.

Didnt enjoy this Vespasian books as much as the others in the series. It felt like there were 3 separate short stories that were forced together rather than a cohesive yarn, neatly packaged. We are all waiting for the big unveiling of the prophecy and some lose ends were tied off in preparation for the big finale I felt. On the plus side, Vespasian remains as likeable as ever and you are wiling him onwards. Historical context feels right and true and you are quickly immersed into Ancient Rome.

Fascinating ideas. The blend of known fact with fictional elaborations and great storytelling.So Nero used persecution of the early Christians as a distraction

Enthralling novel. Vol. 8 in the author's Vespasian series, this takes us from his stint as governor of Africa to his appointment as leader of military forces set to fight the Jewish War. As governor, he brings a group of Roman citizens out of non-Roman territory where they have been made slaves, into Roman territory, despite hardship, mutiny among his auxiliaries, and a slave revolt. Back in Rome, he and his brother live through Nero's excesses. The man is becoming more and more demented and

Is there anyone writing better Roman historical fiction than Robert Fabbri right now? I don't think so. I have read many, many, many, books on Rome in the time of Nero. I always think the best of them as being Rome: The Emperor's Spy by Manda Scott, this one is most certainly on the same level. Nero is of course depicted as being a complete lunatic: he marries a man, holds a party in which senators wives are forced to give their bodies freely to any man that asks, and naturally - burns Rome to
