A powerful new novel set in the fourth-century Roman Empire by
critically acciaimed historical novelist Simon Turney, Para Bellum
will delight fans of Scarrow, Kane and Cornwell. AD 381. Five years
have gone by since a Roman governor ordered the deaths of a Gothic
king and his attendants at a feast in their honour. This disastrous
act led to warfare in the Roman Empire and the death of the Emperor
Valens. Now, the Empire is calm once more, but for the eight
legionaries who committed the killings, the bloodshed is only just
beginning. Fritigern, brother of the murdered king, has sworn
revenge on his brother's killers. Now king of a powerful Gothic
tribe, he will not rest until the men are hunted down. Flavius
Focalis is one of those legionaries. Surviving an attack at his
villa, he realises the danger he and his family are in, and seeks
to warn his former comrades, for he knows Fritigern will give them
no quarter. So begins a deadly game of cat-and-mouse across the
Empire, as, by land and sea, the former soldiers face the wrath of
their implacable enemy, and return to the scene of the greatest
battle of their age: Adrianople. For war is coming again - and the
only question is, do they die now, or die later?
