'A BLOODY PAGE-TURNER' Mail on Sunday For fans of Bernard Cornwell, Simon Scarrow, Ben Kane and Conn Iggulden, a spectacular debut where honour and duty, legions and tribes clash in bloody, heart-breaking glory .

____________ AD 9.

Fifteen thousand battle-hardened Roman legionaries strike deep into dense forest.

Awaiting them are deadly, hostile Germanic tribes.

In a clearing they find twelve massacred and strung-up legionaries.

Is this a threat, or a warning? There is just one bloodied, broken survivor.

He has no idea who he is.

Only that he is a soldier.

And now he must fight.

As the legions are mercilessly cut down, the nameless soldier joins a small band of survivors trapped in the forest.

If they fight together they have a slim chance of staying alive.

But whose side is the soldier on? And is it the right one? _____________ 'Blood and guts, but also a clever exploration of the moral ambiguity of war and loyalty to a flag' Mail on Sunday 'Gives Rome's legionaries a contemporary voice - brutal, audacious and fast paced' Anthony Riches, author of the Empire series 'Historical fiction written by a real war veteran who knows all there is to know about blood and bonding in battle.

An earthy and powerful read' Sport PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED UNDER THE TITLE BLOOD FOREST.
