Marcus Aquila and his allies spearhead a daring attack into enemy
territory, as three generals claim to be the true Roman Emperor. A
new civil war has begun: with the emperor Pertinax's murder Marcus
and his protector Scaurus have escaped Rome, seeking sanctuary for
their familia in the East. But they are soon pressed back into
service by Septimus Severus, the ruthless commander who has seized
the imperial capital and who holds the military balance of power
over his two rivals. Niger, the would-be emperor in the East, is on
the march with six legions, and Scaurus's legion is ordered to
Thrace as a sacrificial advance guard, tasked with delaying them.
Whatever the cost . . .
After saving the Empire's richest province from a foreign army,
Marcus and the men who protect him have been in hiding. Their lives
will be forfeit if they are seen in Rome. But times have changed.
Marcus's protector, the patrician legion commander Scaurus, has
been summoned home by his mentor, a powerful senator who has
decided he must act to save the empire from its debauched ruler's
reign of terror. Rome is a hotbed of conspiracy and treachery: and
the senator is not the only contender for power. The emperor
himself plans to destroy those he mistrusts and no-one is safe.
Marcus is assigned his own, unique role in the conspiracy. He will
become a gladiator once more. But this time, his only opponent will
be Commodus himself . . .

The Protector is back. Mickey Bale must hunt down military-grade
warheads in this gripping British thriller from Anthony Riches.
Former close protection officer Mickey Bale has a dangerous
skillset. One that many men, good and bad, want to make use of.
That's why a powerful oligarch wants to hire Mickey to protect him.
And with his wife gone and his track record with the Met in
tatters, Mickey doesn't have a choice. But when a terrorist attack
kills a police firearms team, MI5 suspect that Mickey's new client
and the Russian GRU are involved. The bomb was a military-grade
Sunburn missile warhead. And there are more warheads out there.
Blackmailed by MI5 into spying on the client he was hired to
protect, Mickey is pushed to his limits by his new double-agent
status. If he doesn't locate the other warheads, thousands of
civilians will die - and time is running out... Reviews for Anthony

With his compelling Centurions trilogy complete, Anthony Riches
returns to his bestselling Empire sequence of novels with his
storytelling skills polished to perfection. Set in the second
century AD, The Scorpion's Strike continues the story of Marcus
Aquila's fight for justice for a family ripped asunder by imperial
assassins. Still seeking revenge, Marcus finds himself thrown back
into the heart of the chaos that is shaking the Roman Empire to its
roots. Fresh from their close escape from imperial betrayal in the
German forest, Marcus and the Tungrians are ordered to Gaul, where
an outlaw called Maturnus is wreaking havoc. Havoc that may be more
than mere banditry, as deserters and freed slaves flock to his
cause: rebellion is in the air for the first time in a generation.
And if escape from Rome's memories is a relief for the young
centurion, he soon discovers that danger has followed him west to
Gaul. The expedition is led by Praetorians whom he has every cause
to hate. And to fear, if they should discover who he really is. 'A

Retribution
They killed his sister. Now he'll kill them all. Mickey Bale is an
elite close protection officer. That's why the Met police has given
him the toughest job of all: guarding the Minister of Defence at a
moment when Chinese-British relations have hit a deadly boiling
point. And when Mickey's life isn't on the line for his work, he's
taking his chances waging war on a powerful London gang family.
Their dealer supplied a lethal ecstasy pill to his sister, and
Mickey is determined to take them down, one at a time. But will he
get away with it - or will his colleagues in the force realise that
the man on an underworld killing spree is one of their own? 'Mickey

The enthralling third entry in the Empire series takes the legions
deep into north Britannia, where the survivors of the rebellion
still hope for revenge
The Romans have vanquished the rebel alliance, leaving Calgus, Lord
of the Northern Tribes, the prisoner of the chieftains he once led.
But the new Roman leader will not let them rest. He forms an
audacious plan to capture Dinpaladyr, the Selgovaes' fortress of
spears, and return it to the hands of a trusted ally. Marcus
Aquila--burning for revenge on an enemy army that has killed one of
his best friends--is part of the select group of infantry chosen to
go north with the Petriana cavalry and take the fort before the
rebel army can reach it. He believes his disguise as Centurion
Corvus of the 2nd Tungrians is still holding, but he is just a few
days ahead of two of the emperor's agents--sent from Rome to kill
him, they are pitiless assassins who know his real name, and too
much about his friends.
After saving the emperor's life in Rome, Marcus and his comrades
have been sent across the sea to the wealthy, corrupt Greek
metropolis of Aegyptus, Alexandria. An unknown enemy has
slaughtered the garrison of the Empire's last outpost before its
border with the mysterious kingdom of Kush. Caravans can no longer
reach the crucial Red Sea port of Berenike, from which the riches
of the East flow towards Rome. The Emperor's most trusted and most
devious adviser has ordered Marcus's commander Scaurus and his
trusted officers to the south. With orders that are tantamount to a
suicide mission, and with only one slim hope of success. Can a
small force of highly trained legionaries restore the Empire's
power in this remote desert no-man's-land, when faced by the
fanatical army of Kush's iron-fisted ruler?
'A master of the genre' The Times The Tungrian auxiliary cohorts
return to Hadrian's Wall after their successful Dacian campaign,
only to find Britannia in chaos. The legions are overstretched,
struggling to man the forts of the northern frontier in the face of
increasing barbarian resistance. The Tungrians are the only
soldiers who can be sent into the northern wastes, far beyond the
long abandoned wall built by Antoninus, where a lost symbol of
imperial power of the Sixth Victorious Legion is reputed to await
them. Protected by an impassable swamp and hidden in a fortress
atop a high mountain, the eagle of the Sixth legion must be
recovered if the legion is to survive. Marcus and his men must
penetrate the heart of the enemy's strength, ghosting through a
deadly wilderness patrolled by vicious huntresses before breaching
the walls of the Fang, an all-but-impregnable fort, if they are to
rescue the legion's venerated standard. If successful their escape
will be twice as perilous, with the might of a barbarian tribe at
their heels.
'A master of the genre' The Times The eighth book in the Empire
sequence takes Centurion Marcus Aquila and his Tungrian legion on a
dangerous mission to the heart of the Parthian empire. With Rome no
longer safe Marcus and the Tungrians are ordered east, to the
desolate border lands where Rome and Parthia have vied for
supremacy for centuries. Ordered to relieve the siege of an
isolated fortress, their task is doomed to bloody failure unless
they can turn the disaffected Third Legion into a fighting force
capable of resisting the terrifying Parthian cataphracts. And
Marcus must travel to the enemy capital Ctesiphon on a desperate
mission, the only man who can persuade the King of Kings to halt a
war that threatens the humiliation of the empire and the slaughter
of his friends.
'A master of the genre' The Times The Battle of the Lost Eagle
saved Hadrian's Wall, but the new Roman governor of Britannia must
stamp out the rebellion of the northern tribes or risk losing the
province. Rampaging south with sword and flame under the command of
their murderous chieftain Calgus, they have stretched his forces to
the limit. For Marcus - now simply Centurion Corvus of the 1st
Tungrian cohort - the campaign has become doubly dangerous. As
reinforcements flood into Britannia he is surrounded by new
officers with no reason to protect him from the emperor's henchmen.
Death could result from a careless word as easily as from an enemy
spear Worse, one of them is close on his heels. While Marcus is
training two centuries of Syrian archers to survive a barbarian
charge and then take the fight back to their enemy, the new prefect
of the 2nd Tungrians has discovered his secret. Only a miracle can
save Marcus and the men who protect him from disgrace and death . .
. Anthony Riches once again brings meticulous research together
with brilliant storytelling to capture the authentic feel of what
life was like for the Roman Army in a brutal war with a remorseless
enemy.
