I think my favorite one is for #2, Haesel the Slave. I've got them all and will continue to read them...thanks for letting me know that #3 at least isn't as tepid as this first one.<br /><br />Mike, glad you got Phoenix #2...I tried to intimate in my review how Joe Kenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285576322579808153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-81488684635754049952012-10-13T16:15:36.473-05:002012-10-13T16:15:36.473-05:00Yeah, I think I’ll pass on those.

Too many characters for so short a book, even if it is a series. And rather bland stuff for Roman slave fiction. I recall book three being a bit more racy, but never graphic. Kinda reminded me of Norman's GOR series.
