Falconer the master of historical fiction
Another brilliant read from Falconer, I have read all the big names ( Scarrow, Kane, Cornwell) and Falconers right up there ( if not in front- by a nose) what I love about Falconer is that he takes a punt on lesser know historical periods ( Fever coast, Fury, Lord of the Atlas ) etc no just the tired Roman, viking ,Napoleonic periods .His knowledge and the ability to unfold history and the settings in your mind is priceless.If u haven't read one of his books and your into historical fiction your missing a treat.

Ends of the Earth Terrific Adventure
Based on real events, it's almost impossible to put the book down! The Roman Empire in the time of Caesar was only one place that was experiencing adventure and struggle to live. Valerius and his dwindling group of fellow soldiers are captured, enslaved and used by cultures they only ever heard about until now. From Rome to the far East they fought to return home. Their wives and children and family counted on the years it took to get the soldiers home...if their husbands and family believed they were still alive.Hard to put down, Ends of the Earth is a riveting journey for readers who love history and fiction.Colin Falconer does it again!

Wonderful Journey into Ancient Civilization
Ends of the Earth took me on a fantastic trip into the ancient world. I could feel the cold, taste the sea, and smell the stink of the cities. I cannot imagine the overwhelming amount of research that went into writing this book. Thank you, Mr. Falconer. You gave me several hours of education and entertainment.

Ends of the Earth
Ri eting and realistic.Full of raw emtion and very human nobility as well as deprivation. Arelistic narration of the times and experiences of a right-thinking, well-born Roman during Julius Caesar's lifetime. An absorbing read, strongly recommended.

Ends of the Earth
Another intriguing read by Colin - detail, emotion and atmosphere in this one. Colin just doesn’t write bad books! The Roman Empire at its best and worst with real heroes and villians, too….can’t wait for the next one.

well written multi level plot
I loved this take as it was based (at least in part) on fact. And had several interesting story lines in one encompassing story.
