Om denne lydboken

Follow Quintus and his cohort in another thrilling historical adventure! For fans of Ben Kane, Conn Iggulden, Bernard Cornwell, and Simon Scarrow. Ancient Rome meets Ancient Britannia . . . Julius Quintus Quirinius and his cohort sail to the mysterious land of Britannia. They have been sent on a mission to scout out the savage country and battle the local tribesman to pave the way for their emperor. But before they can land, a violent storm scatters their ships, separating Quintus, newly promoted to Decanus, from some of his comrades. In seeking them, he encounters Britons who may be friend or foe. Betrayal is in the air when he discovers the missing legionaries have been captured by a local tribe. And the tribesmen are not willing to release the Romans alive. Quintus is prepared to rescue his men or die in the attempt. His oath demands it. But can the legionary training of the Roman soldiers defeat the fierce foreign tribesmen? Or will Quintus's first foreign mission be his last?
