Another great book from Stephen Dando-Collins. I really enjoyed reading his theories on who he believes murdered Germanicus and why it was done. Definitely surprised me on his conclusions but I also have to admit that he has me convinced. The author certainly knows his subject matter and has a way of writing history to feel very exciting and keeps you interested. Still, I have to say that I liked Neros Killing Machine better than this book though.
