THE BATTLE IS OVER. THE WAR BEGINS.

'This is fast-paced, gripping, 'read-through-the-night' fiction' Conn Iggulden

Having barely survived the Battle of the Lost Eagle, Marcus Aquila seeks his vengeance against the murderous rebel chieftain, Calgus.

But as his cohort is sent reinforcements, Marcus is quickly surrounded by men whom he cannot trust - men who could betray his secret to the ruthlessly vengeful emperor Commodus.

With the enemy closing in, Marcus and his untrained cohort suddenly face a battle on two fronts. From outside and, more terrifyingly, from within . . .

Meticulously researched, brutally captured and utterly unputdownable, Arrows of Fury continues the bestselling EMPIRE series, securing Anthony Riches as a master of the historical adventure genre.

A new Roman Governor......more

I've waited until I finished the third book in this series before posting a review of any of them, and for a particular reason. Most of the historical series I've read consist of a new separate story with each book, often defined by a narrator's pause or some such device. Most series are different s......more

Goodreads review by Speesh on April 03, 2014

I had to, thanks (?) to an eye infection, ‘read’ this with Audible. And very glad I was too. What top notch entertainment it is! So good in fact, I’ve had it read to me twice inside a month - and enjoyed every single Roman minute of it. We’re back in AD 182, in Roman Britain, in the Roman Legions, at......more
