I love this series. I loved it in print and now that a disease is taking my eyesight, I love it even it even more in audio. It is well thought out, planned, and the characters are real enough. They are as complex as the people we know. The action is good and the historical references are to the point. The best part is the humor. When is the last volume going to be available?

This is a great series

Good once got started. Need to ignore strange time line. Jumps in at about 650 AD. Time of the general and Justinian. In middle of campaign but no explanation as to who from future or no, where special device came from or the alien etc.

Inconsistent time line

I really liked the earlier books in this series, with their supernatural elements. But while those are still here in a token way, this book was more like a 19th century account of a lot of troop movements. Lots of minutiae. I found a lot of it too boring and kept wandering off to read other things.
Still, it basically has what I like - intelligent people doing intelligent things, comedy, action, etc. I’m hoping the last book will be better, and have more Belisarius vs Narses

Not as good as the previous books, for me
