********************************************************************
EMPEROR OF ROME. CONQUEROR OF BRITAIN.
43 AD. Southern England. Caratacus, war chief of the Britons, watches as the scarlet cloaks of the Roman legions spread across his lands like blood.
In Rome, Emperor Claudius desires total conquest and dreams of taking his place in history alongside his illustrious forebears Caesar and Augustus.
Among the legions marches Rufus, keeper of the Emperor's elephant. War is coming and the united tribes of Britain will make a desperate stand against the might of Rome in their fight for freedom.
The Emperor has a very special purpose for Rufus and his elephant in the midst of the battle - will the Gods favour him?
Have you read Caligula - where Rufus's adventures begin?
Critics Review
-
What stands out are Jackson’s superb battle scenes. I lost myself in the riveting depictions of combat, hoping against hope that somehow the British would prevail… I was gripped from start to finish
Ben Kane, author of The Forgotten Legion -
Jackson triumphs… If I were Conn Iggulden or Simon Scarrow, I’d be rather worried by the new Scottish kid on the block
The Scotsman -
A master of his discipline rightly hailed as one of the best historical novelists writing today
