A SOLDIER'S SWORD WILL DECIDE THE FATE OF ROME

Emperor Nero's grip on power is weakening - more and more fearful of losing his position, his paranoia settles on the figure of the popular Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo, Rome's greatest General who leads the imperial legions in the East. Is he preparing to march against Rome?

Gaius Valerius Verrens is ordered to Antioch on a mission to kill Corbulo, a soldier he worships...Yet Corbulo's eyes are not on Rome, but on a new threat to the Empire's border: the Parthian King, Vologases, is marching to war and with such an army that if not stopped he might overwhelm the entire Roman east.

Valerius marches at Corbulo's side. Outnumbered they make a stand to meet Vologases in an epic contest of military might and ingenuity that will decide the fate of the Empire.

And while he fights for the Empire, and for his own survival on the battlefield, Valerius must decide whether to complete his mission, or risk incurring his Emperor's dangerous wrath.

Gaius Valerius Verrens's adventures continue in Sword of Rome.

Reseñas de la Crítica

A splendid piece of story-telling and a vivid recreation of a long-dead world

Light and dark in equal measure, colourful, thoughtful and bracing

Superb battle scenes . . . I was gripped from start to finish

Good read for the Roman history buff

Great battle descriptions and this book takes the reader to a little known corner of the Roman Empire. It's worth checking out and the narrator does a good job.

Exciting derring-do in the Roman Empire

Masterfully written historical drama series about fictional protagonist Gaius Valerius Verens. Accurate gore, manly virtues, and deeply researched by Douglas Jackson, an expert on Roman warfare. Etched characters, exciting storytelling, perfectly narrated in this audiobook. I’ve listens to several other novels in this series and they do not disappoint for entertainment. A pinnacle of the genre.
