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. The Empire is now at peace, but the powerful brother of the
murdered king has sworn revenge on the regicides, and will not rest
until they are hunted down. For the eight legionaries who carried
out the killings, the bloodshed is only just beginning. Flavius
Focalis is one of those legionaries. After narrowly surviving an
attempt on his life, Focalis seeks to warn his former comrades, for
he knows their enemy is implacable. So begins a deadly game of
cat-and-mouse across the Empire, with far more than eight lives at
stake. For war is coming – and the only question is: do they die
now, or die later? 'You should be reading Simon Turney' Anthony
