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 . . .

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 . . .

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

status. If he doesn't locate the other warheads, thousands of
civilians will die - and time is running out... Reviews for Anthony

Whatever the cost . . .
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
masterclass in military historical fiction' Sunday Express on
Retribution
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 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 . . .
'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.
The author of the bestselling Empire sequence continues his new
trilogy: the epic story of the uprising of the Batavi in AD 69. 'A
master of the genre' - The Times AD 69: The Rhine frontier has
exploded into bloody rebellion, and four centurions who once fought
in the same army find themselves on opposite sides of a vicious
insurrection. The rebel leader Kivilaz and his Batavi rebels have
humbled the Romans in a battle they should have won. The legions
must now defend their northern stronghold, the Old Camp, from the
enraged tribes of Germany, knowing that they cannot be relieved
until the civil war raging to the south has been resolved. Can they
defend the undermanned fortress against thousands of barbarian
warriors intoxicated by a charismatic priestess's vision of
victory?
'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.
From an exciting new thriller writer for fans of Conn Iggulden and
Simon Scarrow, this is the first book in an exhilarating trilogy
that lavishly brings to life the great events and battles of the
times, and will take its hero far and wide through the Roman Empire
Thrilling, authentic, and action-packed, this novel introduces
soldier hero Marcus Valerius: a centurion stationed on Hadrian's
Wall in the second century during a revolt against the Roman
Empire. Marcus Valerius Aquila has scarcely landed in Britannia
when he has to run for his life--condemned to dishonorable death by
power-crazed emperor Commodus. The plan is to take a new name,
serve in an obscure regiment on Hadrian's Wall, and lie low until
he can hope for justice--but then a rebel army sweeps down from the
wastes north of the Wall, and Marcus has to prove he's hard enough
to lead a century in the front line of a brutal, violent war.
