Summary
From the million-copy-selling author of The Roman Mysteries comes a nail-biting time-travel adventure in Roman London - where past meets present.
Billionaire Solomon Daisy is obsessed with the skeleton of a blue-eyed girl from Roman London. He has managed to invent a time machine so that he can go and find her, but it's estimated that for each hour spent in the past, the time traveller's life will be shortened, so Solomon recruits a potential child time traveller: Alex Papas, a 12-year-old boy who knows a smattering of Greek and Latin.
Alex's mission is to go back to Londinium through a portal in London's Mithraeum and find out all he can about the blue-eyed girl.
There are just three rules:
- Naked you go and naked you must return.
- Drink, don't eat.
- As little interaction as possible.
But time travel is no picnic - and Roman London is far more dangerous than anyone could have known.

Adventurous Story
Gives an good idea what Roman london was like. Narrator was good enthusiastic but not very good at changing voices.
Most memorable, gory and graphic was the gladiator arena.

Fantastic Time Travel Romp
If you like your historical fiction you’ll love this romp through Roman London. It’s a fast paced story for all ages expertly narrated. It’s quite short but that’s no bad thing for it doesn’t get hung up on detail or unnecessary descriptive narrative. It’s good story, well told at fast pace. There’s plenty of heavy in-depth novels on historical fiction out there but if you want a break from the norm and looking for something a bit more fun then this it.
Looking forward to the upcoming escapades of our two intrepid travellers!

My 9 year old enjoyed this book
Face paced historical romp enjoyed by my 9 year old. He particularly the disgusting horrible history aspects of Roman life. Well narrated at pace. My only bug bear - this book was on the amazon free to listen list but 3/4 of the way through we had to purchase it to continue listening, I didn't want to disappoint my son so felt obliged to buy. I might have missed the expiry of the free to listen offer - but if I did it certainly wasn't obvious!

Really enjoyed this.
OK first of all I know it's a kids/teenagers book but I really enjoyed it. Not just a good story but an educational one as well. I think this would make a good TV series. I hope the author writes more.
