A desperate rescue attempt deep behind enemy lines . . . a
nail-biting adventure with all the hard-edged appeal of Bravo Two
Zero When Valens, a junior officer in the Roman Army, joins a crack
squad of soldiers on a dangerous mission, little does he know
what's in store for him. Tasked with rescuing the young Prince
Sasan, who has been imprisoned in the impenetrable Castle of
Silence, the troops set out across Mesopotamia and into the
mountains south of the Caspian Sea. Deep in hostile territory,
inexperienced Valens finds himself in charge. And as one by one his
soldiers die or disappear, he begins to suspect that there is a
traitor in their midst, and that the rescue is fast becoming a
suicide mission. Valens must marshal this disparate group of men
and earn their respect, before it's too late . . . From the author
of The Last Hour comes another fast-paced thriller that will keep
you on the edge of your seat. For readers of Bernard Cornwell, Ben
Kane, Simon Scarrow and Conn Iggulden. 'Sidebottom conjures up the
landscape and its people brilliantly . . . I could have journeyed
with Valens and his crew for another 1,000 pages.' The Times 'This
exhilarating action thriller storms along, reinforced by the
author's thorough knowledge of the Roman army.' The Sunday Express
Praise for Harry Sidebottom 'Relentless, brutal, brilliant, this is
Jack Reacher in ancient Rome' Ben Kane 'A cracking tale. More
twists and turns than the Tiber itself' Rory Clements 'Cracking,
page-turning stuff' James Swallow 'Grabbed me from the start. I
loved it' Donna Leon
