Über dieses Hörbuch
The eighth book in the Empire sequence takes Centurion Marcus Aquila and his Tungrian legion on a dangerous mission to the heart of the Parthian empire
With Rome no longer safe Marcus and the Tungrians are ordered east, to the desolate border lands where Rome and Parthia have vied for supremacy for centuries.
Ordered to relieve the siege of an isolated fortress, their task is doomed to bloody failure unless they can turn the disaffected Third Legion into a fighting force capable of resisting the terrifying Parthian cataphracts.
And Marcus must travel to the enemy capital Ctesiphon on a desperate mission, the only man who can persuade th King of Kings to halt a war that threatens the humiliation of the empire and the slaughter of his friends.
(P)2015 Hodder & Stoughton
Anthony Riches
Anthony Riches, coming from a family with an army background, has always been fascinated by military history, psychology and weaponry, which led him to write the Empire series set in ancient Rome. The idea for his first contemporary thriller, Nemesis, came to him while jetlagged at two in the morning in a Brisbane hotel room. He lives in rural Suffolk with his wife, two dogs the size of ponies and a bad-tempered cat. Follow Anthony on www.anthonyriches.com @AnthonyRiches
