Your theory on why there wasn't a third book is right on the mark. I thought Rufus's position and proximity to the Emperor gave a fairly unique viewpoint of life in Rome, but I always had a feeling of events revolving around him, with little opportunity to make things happen. That was why the publishers asked me to come up with another more proactive character. It must have worked because they've just asked me to write three more Valerius books, which will take him through the Year of the Four Emperors and, probably, to a finale in north Britain with his old comrade AgricolaDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10909280645811414303noreply@blogger.com
