Scopri l'azione esplosiva e il dramma da brivido nello spettacolare secondo capitolo della vivida serie in cinque parti di Harry Sidebottom, ottima per i fan di Bernard Cornwell Mesopotamia, 260 d.C. Tradito dal suo consigliere più fidato, l'imperatore romano Valeriano è stato catturato dai barbari sasanidi. La vergogna dei vinti si abbatte senza pietà come il sole bianco, mentre il fragile vecchio imperatore si prostra davanti a Shapur, re dei re. Balista giura di vendicare coloro che hanno portato l'impero sull'orlo della distruzione con il loro tradimento. Un giorno, forse non presto, ma un giorno, ti ucciderò. Ma prima deve decidere quale prezzo pagherà per la sua libertà. Solo gli impavidi e solo coloro che gli dei risparmieranno dall'inferno possono ora salvare l'impero da una fine catastrofica. Balista, il guerriero di Roma, affronta la sua sfida più grande. Elogi a Harry Sidebottom ''La prosa di Sidebottom arde di bruciante erudizione'' Times ''Il miglior tipo di narrativa storica a sangue freddo'' Andrew Taylor, autore di The American Boy.
