The finest legion of the Roman Empire, the X Fretensis, is on the march. Standards raised and feet marching towards a besieged city and a conquered people. No free-thinking earthly power would dare reckon with the Roman Army at the Empire's zenith. No one that is, but the Jewish people, compelled by a direct descendant of Judah Maccabee, who draws together and leads a splintered band of guerillas in a seemingly hopeless struggle. After the fall of Jerusalem, the remaining partisans fight their way out of the shattered city of Jerusalem and make their way to Masada, deep in the Judean wilderness. A small hardened group watches the massing troops of Rome from the desert mountain fortress. The Jewish people are an ancient immovable authority but they are on the brink. It's a world of emerging loyalties, faiths and allegiances and within it, we take a journey through the eyes of the two chief combatants. The Fall of the "Fortress" takes us on a gritty lurid journey as man versus man, empire versus empire and God versus Gods unravels.
