Caracteristici

Unique protagonist in Titus Cervanius - combat medic and warrior. Author says: 'Legion XXII is the culmination of several things: a fascination with Egypt, a love of Roman military history, an interest in the origins of the 22nd Legion, who were unusual to say the least, and the amazing and unsung role that the combat medic has played in war throughout history.'

Notă biografică

Simon Turney is from Yorkshire and, having spent much of his childhood visiting historic sites, fell in love with the Roman heritage of the region. His fascination with the ancient world snowballed from there with great interest in Rome, Egypt, Greece and Byzantium. His works include the Marius' Mules and Praetorian series, the Tales of the Empire and The Damned Emperor series, and the Rise of Emperors books with Gordon Doherty.Follow Simon at www.simonturney.com

Descriere

Warrior and combat medic, Titus Cervianus, must lead a legion and quell the uprisings in Egypt in a new Roman adventure from Simon Turney.

Titus Cervianus is no ordinary soldier. And the Twenty Second is no ordinary legion...

Egypt. 25 BC. A former surgeon from the city of Ancyra, Titus Cervianus is now a capsarius – a combat medic. He is a pragmatist, a scientist – and deeply unpopular with his legion, the Twenty Second Deiotariana.

The Twenty Second have been sent to deal with uprisings and chaos in Egypt. Founded as the private royal army of one of Rome's most devoted allies, the king of Galatia, their ways are not the same as the other legions', a factor that sets them apart and causes friction with their fellow soldiers.

Marching into the unknown, Cervianus will find unexpected allies in a local cavalryman and a troublesome lunatic. Both will be of critical importance as the young medic marches through the searing sands of the south, finding forbidden temples, dark assassins, vicious crocodiles, and worst of all, the warrior queen of Kush...

'A blistering desert epic, brimming with tension, mystery and adventure!' Gordon Doherty
