Warrior of Rome is an epic of empire, heroes, treachery, courage, and most of all, a story of brutal bloody warfare. The year is AD 255 - the Roman Imperium is stretched to breaking point, its authority and might challenged along every border. The greatest threat lies in Persia to the east, where the massing forces of the Sassanid Empire loom with fiery menace. There the isolated Roman citadel of Arete awaits inevitable invasion. One man is sent to marshal the defences and shore up crumbling walls. A man whose name itself means war: a man called Ballista. Alone, Ballista is called to muster the forces and the courage to stand first and to stand hard against the greatest enemy ever to confront the Imperium. With a spectacular flair for sheer explosive action and knuckle-whitening drama, fans of Bernard Cornwell will love this recreation of the ancient world. Praise for Harry Sidebottom: 'Sidebottom's prose blazes with searing scholarship' The Times 'The best sort of red-blooded historical fiction' Andrew Taylor, author of The American Boy. Codice articolo LU-9780141032290
Warrior of Rome è un'epopea di impero, eroi, tradimenti, coraggio e, soprattutto, una storia di guerra brutale e sanguinosa. Siamo nel 255 d.C.: l'Impero romano è teso fino al punto di rottura, la sua autorità e potenza sono sfidate lungo ogni confine. La minaccia più grande si trova in Persia a est, dove le forze in massa dell'Impero sasanide incombono con una minaccia ardente. Lì, l'isolata cittadella romana di Arete attende un'inevitabile invasione. Un uomo viene inviato a schierare le difese e a puntellare mura in rovina. Un uomo il cui nome stesso significa guerra: un uomo chiamato Ballista. Da solo, Ballista è chiamato a radunare le forze e il coraggio per essere il primo e per resistere duramente contro il più grande nemico che abbia mai affrontato l'Impero. Con uno spettacolare talento per l'azione puramente esplosiva e il dramma da brivido, i fan di Bernard Cornwell adoreranno questa ricreazione del mondo antico. Elogi a Harry Sidebottom: "La prosa di Sidebottom arde di bruciante erudizione" The Times "Il miglior tipo di narrativa storica a sangue freddo" Andrew Taylor, autore di The American Boy.
Informazioni sull?autore: Dr Harry Sidebottom is a Fellow of St Benet's Hall and lecturer at Lincoln College, Oxford, where he specializes in ancient warfare and classical art. All six of his Warrior of Rome novels are available from Penguin in paperback and ebook.
