A washed-up Fleet Street journalist visits a remote coastal village
in north-west England as a struggling freelance. It's a mundane
assignment to Ben Miller - until the words on a hidden stone near
Hadrian's Wall reveal one of ancient Rome's greatest secrets. But
Miller's promising change of fortune turns to disaster when a tidal
wave brings death and destruction to the Solway Coast. More than
2000 years earlier a Greek slave is caught up in the vicious
rivalry between a young, inexperienced Octavian and the powerful
Marc Antony to replace Caesar as leader of the Roman Empire. The
slave Damon becomes Octavian's personal guard, and through the
savagery of civil wars and political treachery they form a unique
friendship. But although Roman historians glorify Octavian's rise
to emperor, the heroic deeds of his slave are forgotten. From '80s
Britain to ancient Rome this novel follows the life and fate of two
men. Although centuries apart, their paths are destined to meet as
Miller strives to redeem himself and restore a Greek hero's
rightful place in Roman history.
