Discover explosive action and white-knuckle drama in the
spectacular second instalment in Harry Sidebottom's vivid five-part
series, perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell Mesopotamia, AD 260
Betrayed by his most trusted adviser, the Roman Emperor Valerian
has been captured by the Sassanid barbarians. The shame of the
vanquished beats down mercilessly like the white sun, as the frail
old emperor prostrates himself before Shapur, King of Kings.
Ballista vows to avenge those who have brought the empire to the
brink of destruction with their treachery. One day, maybe not soon,
but one day, I will kill you . . . But first he must decide what
price he will pay for his own freedom. Only the fearless and only
those whom the gods will spare from hell can now save the empire
from a catastrophic ending. Ballista, the Warrior of Rome, faces
his greatest challenge yet . . . Praise for Harry Sidebottom
