Helius, Nero's most trusted advisor, anticipates the death of his sworn enemy, the legendary warrior Gallus Sergius Vitas, scheduled to die a gruesome death in the arena. However, the badly beaten man who appears in the amphitheater is not who he seems. Rescued by a stranger and given a mysterious scroll, Vitas is told that he must decipher this letter to find the answers he needs. It is a letter that Helius is also determined to decipher and to keep hidden from Nero. As Nero's reign of terror grows, so does his circle of enemies.

"Fascinating - especially to find plot lines related to the early Church. I often ponder how I would have held up under similar circumstances!" — Jon (4 out of 5 stars)

" Just a phenomenal series. Incredibly well-written with so much attention to details, especially the culture of the time. Just a great series. "
" Very interesting to learn about the time period. The story was pretty engaging, but I found out it's the second in a series so I guess I'd better read the first. There were a lot of characters and I got lost sometimes. A little gruesome here and there, but over all pretty clean. I enjoyed it. "
" very good story about early christian period. "
" The is the second book to the The Last Disciple which I didn't like. I didn't like this one any better. It's still the horrible details of Rome. I also thought that by the end of this book we'd have closure of Vitas and Sophia. But we don't. They plan to drag it out for one more book. "
" Great historical fiction read. Really helps in understanding some biblical history and matters of eschatology as well. "
" Overall it was a good book, but the ending I didn't reallly care for. It left you hanging. "
" Was very fast-paced, but very riveting ( I could hardly put it down) Five-stars! recommended for anybody that enjoys historical fiction. "
" so far somewhat gruesome "
" This will be "The Empire Strikes Back" of the series. Too much time reintroducing the characters, to long to get to the story, and when it does, stops too early. Gruesome in spots. PG14 for implied violence/adult situations. "
