He escapes and meets up with the famed Spartacus and his infamous slave rebellion. He joins them as their head of cavalry because every Parthenon is an outstanding horseman and warrior. He also meets the woman he hopes will eventually marry him, but not before many huge battles are fought against many Roman Legions.I proudly award this novel 5 STARS! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Do not confuse Peter Darman with a historian *by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2023* Early in this book I realized it was not written by an educated man. Educated authors correct mis-spellings, skipped words, wring word usage such as 'taught' in stead of 'taut", etc. The dialogue is crock full of British modern slang, perhaps because Darman is a Brit and thinks everyone, everywhere, and in every era spoke like Brits in a pub. If you like that, fine.It's just a romantic story, nothing else. On page 127 he describes the construction of a Scythian bow, which is something I know a bit about. He describes the wood used as yew, which is what the British used. Wrong. Mongols and Scythians did not have ready access to yew and it does not grow at all in southern Italy. He at least got right that sinew and horn were glued to the bow shaft but described the glue as derived from bitumen, tree resin, and animal grease (??!! grease as glue ??). Actually, fish glue was used. It was manufactured by boiling fish air bladders.At this point I realized that no one should assume that Darman has performed historical research adequate to the task he has taken up. I think the term is "ill-prepared", but that doesn't deter his audacity. Just treat his books as fictional entertainment and assume he got it all wrong and made it up. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I loved the book! *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2023* I saw one negative review, but though I also noticed some spelling errors, I did not find that they detracted much from the story line. Who doesn't love stories about Spartacus and ancient Rome? I'll be reading more for sure! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/316074040-the-parthian-parthian-chronicles-book-1](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/316074040-the-parthian-parthian-chronicles-book-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
