'Absorbing and brilliant ... Game of Thrones without the dragons'
THE TIMES The third book in Sidebottom's epic series set in third
century Rome; a dramatic era of murder, coup, counter-rebellions
and civil war. Rome AD238. The Year of the Six Emperors. The empire
is in turmoil. With the Gordiani, father and son, dead in Africa,
the tyrant Maximinus Thrax vies to reclaim the throne. The Senate,
who supported the revolt of the Gordiani, must act quickly to avoid
the vengeance of Maximinus. They elect two Senators to share the
imperial purple. But fighting erupts in the streets as ambitious
men call for violent revolution. Can the new Augusti hold the city
together as the empire's farthest territories fight off bloody
attacks from the Goths and the Persians in the east? In the north
of Italy, Maximinus descends on Aquileia. Against the odds,
Menophilus, an old friend of the younger Gordian, prepares to
defend the town. In one of the greatest sieges of the empire, its
fate will be decided in a fight for victory, for revenge, for Rome.
Filled with intrigue, betrayal and bloody battle, Fire & Sword
creates a magnificent world built on brutality and political games,
where no one is safe from retribution - not even those who dare to
rule.
