The Sunday Times bestseller! It is AD 25. Pirate ships strike
terror in the hearts of those who brave the seas of the Roman
Empire. When young Telemachus joins the crew of the merchant ship
Selene, he's delighted to escape the rough streets of Piraeus. He
knows little of the dangers of life at sea. And even past hardship
has not prepared him for the terror on board when a pirate ship
appears . . . The fight is bloody, but the result is never in
doubt. Then the victorious pirate chief, Bulla, offers the beaten
men a cruel choice: join us, or die. After surviving a brutal
initiation rite, Telemachus impresses his new captain with his
resourcefulness and strength, and swiftly rises through the pirate
ranks. But dangerous rivals talk of mutiny and murder. While
Prefect Canis, notorious commander of the imperial fleet, is
relentless in his pursuit of the pirate brotherhood. Could
Telemachus be the man to lead the pirates and challenge Rome?

INVADER is a Sunday Times bestseller from Simon Scarrow (author of
the bestsellers BRITANNIA and CENTURION) and T. J. Andrews,
co-author of the bestselling INVADER. Featuring the Roman army
officer Figulus in first-century Britannia, INVADER is not to be
missed by readers of Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell. Roman
Britain, AD 44. The land is far from tamed. A puppet king is doing
little to calm the hatred of the native tribes. Fighting is in
Optio Horatius Figulus' blood. His Celtic ancestry gives him the
toughness essential for survival. That toughness will be tested to
the very limit when he is sent on a mission deep in hostile
territory. And Figulus knows that, even utterly crushed in battle,
their warriors routed and the Druids driven from their hill forts,
the tribesmen of Britannia will sooner die than surrender. Figulus
fought alongside Macro and Cato in Simon Scarrow's bestselling
Eagles of the Empire series. In INVADER, he stands alone. INVADER
has previously been published in five separate ebook novellas.
