A Roman gladiator found frozen in the Arctic ice is successfully defrosted alive.
The first 2/3 of the book is mainly taken up with Eugeni's memories of his life from his childhood to how he came to be in the far North, while the rest shows how he reacts to the 1970s. The book has a variety of narrators apart from Eugeni himself. It was very well done, showing how different his thought processes and motivations were from a modern person's.

A non-fiction book on my to read list for quite some time. I started it, but I‘d rather read fiction.
Very informational about how the sword came about, it‘s creation, and application. ⚔️

Then you‘ll enjoy this non-fiction book about how the sword 🗡 becomes a weapon of choice-from gladiators to pirates!
BTW, the score to Gladiator by Hans Zimmer is amazing! 👂🏻 🎶

I hated #Gladiator, but I‘d be up for reading about a female gladiator. I like gender swaps and love it when a woman kicks some ass! Plus, the cover of this book is awesome!

This book is book 2 in The Regante series. Book 1 The Sword in the Stone is not about gladiators but book 2 features a gladiator.
so-soHis book was on the stronger side of so-so. The information was interesting and it wasn‘t poorly written. The problem I had was that the author seemed to be trying too hard to fight against people glamorizing the games and gladiators, as a result he went a bit overboard describing and focusing on how horrific the battles were. I kind of wanted to say Ok, I get it. It also would have benefited from illustrations of some of the weapons and armor

“It's not just a keel and a hull and sails; that's what a ship needs. Not what a ship is. What the Black Pearl really is, is freedom."
Jack also frees the shipload of slaves, which the Wicked Wench (turned Black Pearl) was transporting.
