For those who enjoy the genre of the traditional historical novel (Thomas B. Costain, Samuel Shellabarger etc.) this novel is a good choice. Not as subtle psychologically as some of Holland's other works, it performs admirably as a pure adventure. The "feel" of being in ancient Byzantium is extraordinary.
