published and above and beyond that he was president of the Canadian Hockey League Now more years later than I care to reckon it is my job lo review the latest or his real novels Hie Scarlet Mantle of Canada SO It would take a classical scholar equal or superior to Hardy to whether or not the narrative Is true to the events and perhaps equally important true to the spirit of those events I can only judge the book as fiction that has some basis In fact It gets off to a rousing start with Anthony s confrontation with Cleopatra As the dust we arc to sec the sands of Syria the of Rome the brothels

wars This is first rate narrative and in it Caesar the conqueror becomes more real For the that morning Caesar had dim bed his watchtower Still nothing but intuitively he left that somewhere somehow a pot was bubbling ready to boil Under the watchful eyes of his aides and his trumpeter he paced back aid forth sur veying the Gallic his own lines and Alesia Everything quiet He glonced up at the sun
