DaddyBear of DaddyBear's Den and author of Tales of the Minivandians
As you can tell by checking out a snippet he's posted on his blog, Via Serica is going to be a great read and well worth forking over some of your reading denarii to get it home to a place in your library, as will the likely sequels that will continue the tale.
Having had the honor of being one of his beta readers, I can say that the snippets he's posted, unlike a movie trailer, are not representative of the best parts of the entire book. They're really good mind you, but there's some even finer scenes in the book that await. You'll have to wait until it comes out to read it to get those. You're going to enjoy it, especially if you like well written historical fiction with a few twists. You're going to enjoy it a lot.
No spoilers will be given here, so you'll just have to buy the book and go read and enjoy it in its entirety when it comes out.
The book features solid storytelling, an excellent eye for detail of the period, good believable dialogue, lots of taunt action, some hilarious asides, and plenty of Romans roamin' around.
Once he's got a preorder link ready to go on Amazon, I'll throw a link to it here.
Update (September 8, 2015): Via Serica
