The Twelfth Tablet is Tom Harper’s contribution to shorter historical fiction, published in 2013 during the same period he was writing his standalone thriller The Orpheus Descent. Short fiction allows Harper to explore historical settings and scenarios without the full architecture of a novel, and The Twelfth Tablet shows the same attention to period detail found in his longer work.
Readers new to Harper might use this as a starting point before committing to the Demetrios Askiates trilogy or one of the standalones, while existing fans will find it a worthwhile addition to his bibliography.
