Renowned warrior Agricola returns to Britannia as the commander of a legion... but with a rebellious Celtic tribe threatening Roman rule, securing the province won't be easy. The brilliant new Ancient Roman historical adventure from Simon Turney.
In the aftermath of Rome's civil war, Agricola returns to Britannia in command of his own legion.
This is not the honour it seems at first. Agricola's new legion threatens mutiny and the frontier province has suffered under troublesome governors. And the Brigantes, a powerful Celtic tribe in Britannia, are ready to make war against Rome.
To stabilise Roman rule and bring peace, Agricola must use all his political and military skills. But when a new commander is posted to Britannia, Agricola's efforts have counted for nothing.
For General Petilius Cerialis wants to completely destroy the Brigantes. With the tribe roused to throw off the Roman yoke for good, Agricola must prepare for the greatest war yet in Britannia... one which few will survive.
'You should be reading Simon Turney' Anthony Riches
Simon Turney is from Yorkshire and, having spent much of his childhood visiting historic sites, fell in love with the Roman heritage of the region. His fascination with the ancient world snowballed from there with great interest in Rome, Egypt, Greece and Byzantium. His works include the Marius' Mules and Praetorian series, the Tales of the Empire and The Damned Emperors series, and the Rise of Emperors books with Gordon Doherty. He lives in North Yorkshire with his family.
