This is the sequel to the bestselling 'Gladiator: Fight For Freedom' and is the second book in the series.
The book follows Marcus who has been sold into slavery and now finds himself under the command of Julius Caesar. Assigned to be Caesar's niece's bodyguard, he's also being trained to become a gladiator of the future. However, what Marcus wants more than anything else is to gain his freedom and that of his mother while trying to conceal the secret of his true heritage from Caesar himself.

Taistelen tähtien ja mielipiteeni kanssa. Tässä osassa peruskuvio on jo selvä (ja jestas, että sitä toistetaankin niin monta kertaa ettei kenellekään jää epäselväksi että isä on murhattu jajajaja *släp*), mutta taistelutaidoille löytyy uusia ottajia.
Caesarin miehenä ja veljentyttären henkivartijana Marcus pääsee kurkistamaan suur-Rooman politiikkaan. Juoni on sommiteltu oikeinkin mukavasti Forumin ympäristöön ja oikeaan poliittiseen ilmapiiriin. Initiaatiot vedetään katujengien kanssa, soluttaud...more

Only one female character in the entire book, and she exists to be married off and to be rescued. Disappointing.

was ook een heel leuk boek, je werd echt in de leven van marcus getrokken
Not as good as the first one but really liked it as well
En ovanligt bra uppföljare som fortsätter i samma takt och anda som första boken. Ser redan fram emot nu att läsa nästa bok om hur Marcus kommer att klara av sitt uppdrag!
Bought this one for my son but then read it before he did. Loved it and want the next book out really soon!!
:O
While not quite as strong as the first book, this one certainly caught my attention and held it! Marcus' adventures continue to entrap me and I'm totally looking forward to book 3!
