I enjoyed “Ship of Rome” & look forward to the sequels. I had to refer to an atlas while reading it, could you include a map in the next book?

I would like to know if John Stack has an email address for people to contact him. I am a bookstore owner and Amazon reviewer and would like him to see some negative comments that a crazy person is putting on peopl’es positive book reviews and hopefully get him to respond to this person who feels his book was very historically inaccurate with the hopes he can get this person to stop slamming everyone’s nice five star reviews for his great book. Can he be contacted? Jeannie at Jeannie’s Book Emporium

OK -I bought it as we have the same name. What a reason. !.
I will buy the sequel even if you change your name.
I thoroughly enjoyed and stayed with it until I finished. (How did they overcome the instability of the heavy ramp? -laid it down?) .

An excellent read and a great pleasure to find a modern novel without four letter words and other unnecessary bad language, apart from “stercus” which is not in poor taste.
The only thing that concerns me is that in all my studies of the Roman navy the Romans did not use slaves as rowers, indeed the rowers proudly called themselves “milites”, (soldiers) and would fight if needed.
Two references which may help are “The Roman Imperial Navy” by C.G. Starr and “Roman Britain and the Roman Navy” by David J.P.Mason. I would add that I am prepared and happy to be otherwise informed. B.P.

Great action, unique description of battles as well as affairs in the early days of Rome. A must for people interested in history.

Looking forward to sequel
