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.
This is fast-paced and gripping "read-through-the-night" fiction, with marvellous characters and occasional moments of dark humour. Some authors are better historians than they are storytellers. Anthony Riches is brilliant at both. * Conn Iggulden *
Riches has captured how soldiers speak and act to a tee and he is very descriptive when it comes to the fighting. It is a novel full of power, lust, envy, violence and vanity. The very things that made Rome great and the very things that would lead to its downfall. If you like historical novels, read this book. * NavyNet on ARROWS OF FURY *
Ancient adventure at its pulsating best! . . . A military expert, Riches brings top-notch drama, vivid storytelling and historical realism to his tales set in a turbulent time. * Lancashire Evening Post on Arrows of Fury *
Cornwell, Iggulden, Smith - Beware. There is a new power on the rise. * www.bookgeeks.co.uk on Wounds of Honour *
'With Wounds of Honour Anthony Riches has produced a terrific first novel that focuses on the soldiers of the Roman Empire in great detail. He vibrantly portrays the life in an auxiliary unit.' * Canberra Times on Wound of Honour *
'An unputdownable read.' * Good Reading Magazine on Wounds of Honour *
