Lysandra is back and she's going to war! In the dirt of the Flavian Amphitheatre, known to history as the Coliseum, lies the bloodied body of Spartan priestess, Lysandra, cut down by Rome's adored Gladiatrix Prima, the beautiful and deadly Illeana, the Midnight Falcon. At the edge of the underworld, the goddess Athene offers Lysandra's spirit a stark choice: reside eternally amid the fields of Elysium or return to a life full of pain and sorrow but that will secure Lysandra a glorious place in legend for generations to come. And now it seems that Lysandra's destiny also lies to the east, and the prospect of a final and bloody reckoning with an old and hated adversary. Lysandra is back and she's going to war! The third adventure in this visceral series inspired by the famous Gladiatrix stele found near Halicarnassus in the 19th century. Sequel to Gladiatrix and Roma Victrix.

In the Author's Note, Whitfield as that modern women should be admitted into the combat arms "once they prove they are capable of it". This hardly squares with the hard-won realization of his two top-tier Gladatrices (p. 455) that they were not cut out for high-intensity combat: "There is a reason that men fight and women nurture", nor with the fact that the bad guys routinely raped wounded or captured women soldiers. Then there are his tactics. In open country infantry cannot conduct a delay against a large body of cavalry.The first principle of war is concentration of mass at the decisive place and time: you don't send half of your force forward to get defeated in detail. The only reason the Dacians get delayed is because the Spartans conducted a night raid against a Dacian camp that had only local security but was not dug-in. The Roman fort gets overrun in short order. A well-organized fort would have had bastions on each flank providing artillery and arrow flanking fire across the curtain wall. These bastions would also have protected the ramps leading to the ground, so that if the Dacians made it to the wall-walk they would have had nowhere to go and still be under flanking fire. A good fort has a fall-back position behind the curtain wall - it could be something as simple as wagons tuned on their sides, to allow a delay by bounds back to the redoubt, instead of the sauve qui peut that took place here. The Romans didn't deserve to win this one.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Imperatrix By William H. Potter, Jr. This work by Russell Whitfield is historical fiction at it's finest. His heroine is brought back to life after a bitter Gladiatrix battle with her rival Illeana. After a proposition by the Emporer they join forces to fight the barbarians and save Rome. Not for the weak of heart as the battles are vivid and gory!
