From bestselling historian Adrian Goldsworthy, a profoundly authentic,
action-packed adventure set in Roman Britain.
AD 100: BRITANNIA.
THE EDGE OF THE ROMAN WORLD.
Flavius Ferox is the hardbitten centurion charged with keeping the
peace on Britannia's frontier with the barbarian tribes of the north.
Now he's been summoned to Londinium by the governor, but before he sets
out an imperial freedman is found brutally murdered in a latrine at
Vindolanda fort – and Ferox must find the killer.
As he follows the trail, the murder leads him to plots against the
empire and Rome itself, and an old foe gathering mysterious artefacts
in the hope of working a great magic. Bandits, soldiers, and gladiators
alike are trying to kill him, old friends turn traitor, and Ferox is
lured reluctantly to the sinister haunts of the old druids on the isle
of Mona, and the bitter power struggle among the Brigantes, the great
tribe of the north...
'An instant classic of the genre' HARRY SIDEBOTTOM.
'An authentic, enjoyable read' THE TIMES.
Five thousand years of military history. The best elite unites that
have fought across the globe. Their story told by acclaimed
adventurer and ex-SAS officer, Ranulph Fiennes. Throughout human
history the art of warfare has evolved into many forms across
numerous theatres, gradually becoming more sophisticated and
strategized as the centuries have progressed. From the Spartans of
Ancient Greece with their code of valour fighting to the last man;
to the US Navy SEALs who operate using the latest technology of the
21st-century. Across the vast array of military campaigns and
battles one can see that the majority of organised armies have been
comprised of enlisted men who would have their basic training. As
time progressed all countries saw the need to also have units that
were the 'best of the best', that would be fit and strong, and
enjoy the best training and weaponry available. These elite units
would be deployed to achieve extremely tough objectives; to guard a
valuable fortification or person; or to act as a barrier in a
crisis. The term 'elite' is the ultimate accolade and one to which
only the toughest would try to aspire to: undergoing intensive and
harsh physical training, and ultimately, sacrificing themselves for
the given objective. Ranulph Fiennes himself served in Britain's
toughest formation, the SAS. Since his military days he has won
acclaim as an extraordinary brave and resourceful artic adventurer.
It is fitting that he now looks back across 5000 years of military
history to pinpoint and celebrate the best elite units that served
and fought across the globe.
