Last Prophecy of Rome is an action adventure which takes lead character, Myles Munro, across the globe. It’s a grand scale story and sees Munro thrust into the heart of another adventure but it’s not a situation he wants to be in.

America is under threat. A terrorist called Juma plans to bring America to its knees and see it crumble to dust in the way the mighty Roman empire once fell. Munro is an historian and can see parallels between past events and the current threat which America faces. The action commences with an explosion – a delivery van in Wall Street (the heart of New York’s financial might) blows up and causes instant chaos and fear.

Myles Munro is introduced and the quirky protagonist from Secrets of the Last Nazi is soon in the thick of the action once again. In a pacy action thriller it is difficult to review without straying too far into Spoiler Territory. What I can share is that Munro is on top form and that is entirely down to the detailed and informed research Iain King brings to the party. The whole backstory has the feel of “this could happen” the assertions of the terrorists are based upon past events. There are real incidents driving their actions and there are people who have put their faith in a rebalancing of the natural order who want to see America diminished. Munro knows these historical events and he patiently explains to the authorities why they are being targeted. It brings authenticity and tension to the unfolding action.

From high drama “Hollywood Blockbuster” set piece dramas to moments of contemplative reflection and consideration, Iain King keeps Munro front and centre throughout the story. If you enjoy action packed page turners with the endangered but bulletproof hero then this is the book you should be seeking out.

Ashamed to admit this has been on my to read list for a lot longer than it should. Having just gotten a new kindle I decided to only download some of the older books I'd not gotten around to reading and it's been great as it means I'm finally really catching up.
When I first received this book it sounded just like something I'd enjoy reading, yet as time has gone on, it seemed less and less like something I wanted to read and I really don't know why.

This book really has some hold your breath kind of moments, from the first few pages it had me knowing I was going to enjoy it..
Miles is with his partner in Rome, He becomes involved in trying to stop a terrorist threat. This book actually felt very current with it's subject matter. An interesting yet chilling book.
I hadn't realised this was the second book until now, so i can safely say it didn't take anything away form the enjoyment of reading it.
