Beric is a young British chief who wars against the Romans, because of how they oppressed the Britons, after a few years Beric and a handful of his men were captured. The romans were stunned that such a young man could lead such a well organized and successful uprising. The captives were taken to Rome and became gladiators. One day Beric saw a young Christian girl he knew about to be thrown to a lion. Beric went to her rescue, defeated the lion and saved her life then Beric went in to Nero’s service because of his bravery. Read the book to join the young chef and his companions in their many thrilling adventures.
I really enjoyed this book. I learned some things I did not know about gladiators and some of the historical events in this book. I really like how G. A. Henty teaches you about history in very a exciting way.
