Publisher's Summary:
Twenty-first-century praetorian Carina Mitela's attempt to resolve an old family indiscretion turns into a nightmare.
Convinced her beloved husband has deserted her, and with her enemy holding a gun to the head of the heir to the imperial throne, Carina has to make the hardest decision of her life....
Roma Nova - the last remnant of the Roman Empire that has survived into the 21st century - is at peace. Carina Mitela, the heir of a leading family but choosing the life of an officer in the Praetorian Guard Special Forces, is not so sure. She senses danger crawling towards her when she encounters a strangely self-possessed member of the unit hosting their exchange exercise in Britain.
When a blackmailing letter arrives from a woman claiming to be her husband Conrad's lost daughter and Conrad tries to shut Carina out, she knows the threat is real. Trying to resolve a young man's indiscretion 25 years before turns into a nightmare that not only threatens to destroy all the Mitelae but also attacks the core of the imperial family itself.

What made the experience of listening to Successio the most enjoyable?
Laid up in bed for a couple of days after a minor medical procedure, and with fading sight making reading difficult I wasn't looking forward to the enforced 'rest'. Enter Audible, Roma Novas and Successio. What a pity I only had two days in bed - I'd've been quite happy With Alison Morton's fabulous characters for company for a few days longer! As it was listening to the entire Audible series was 100% enjoyable - the only complaint... I want the rest of the series! Hurry up and get them recorded Audible!
What other book might you compare Successio to, and why?
The Roma Novas books, I think, are unique. They are in a class of their own. OTHER books will be comparing to Roma Nova in years to come I think!
What does Caitlin Thorburn bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book?
Her accent was just right for Carina.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
well, all of it! I was so engrossed!
Any additional comments?
Brilliant book, brilliant plot, brilliant characters. Brilliant author.
I enjoyed this alternative history story
Any additional comments?
Having read Alison Mortons Inceptio, Ive now read the second and third books in her Roma Nova series, Perfiditas and Successio. Unlike many book series where the originals not bad, these followups are better.
The series is really military science fiction, or at least alternative history, with a special forces bent. Unlike many military stories, the characters are well developed. They are human with human failings, strengths and weaknesses. They grow in power, they make mistakes, they learn. They have depth. You share their adventure. You care for them, somewhat (well, they can be a little anal). The authors habit of occasionally killing key supporting characters keeps the dynamic fresh.
The third book, Successio, has an exploration of insanity, both temporary and permanent. I found the temporary insanity in particular to be fascinating. The setup, the development, the way it progressed, and the resolution, both for the character who goes insane and those around him, made valuable fiction.
