BASED ON REAL HISTORICAL EVENTS A TIME FOR VENGEANCE AD 9, German frontier: Close to the Rhine, a Roman centurion, Lucius Tullus, prepares to take his soldiers on patrol. On the opposite side of the river, German tribes are resentful of the harsh taxes about to be imposed upon them. Suspicious that there might be unrest, Tullus knows that his men's survival will be determined not just by their training and discipline, but by his leadership. A TIME FOR WAR What neither Tullus nor his commander, Governor Varus, realise is that ranged against them is the charismatic chieftain and trusted ally of Rome, Arminius, who has long been plotting to drive the Romans from the tribal lands east of the Rhine. A TIME TO DIE As Varus’ legions prepare to leave their summer encampment, thousands of warriors – directed by Arminius – are massing nearby. Eager to throw off the Roman yoke, the tribesmen prepare a deadly ambush. Only the gods can save the Romans now...

‘History is more than facts on a page. It’s the sounds, the smells, the people, the passion. History should make you think: “I was there”. My books are born from my obsession with Roman history. I’ve followed Spartacus’s trail across Italy. I’ve stood at Cannae and pictured Hannibal’s army meeting the massed legions of Rome. I’ve watched the sea lapping against the fortifications of Syracuse, besieged by the Romans for close to two years. Immerse yourself in these incredible stories and – like me – remind yourself why the legend of Rome endures.’ To find out more about BEN KANE, his world and his novels, visit: www.benkane.net.

Condition: Bueno. : En el verano del año 9 d.C., Publio Varo, gobernador romano de Germania, y Lucio Tulo, un centurión acuartelado en el Rin, marchan hacia el este con tres legiones. Mientras se preparan para regresar a sus cuarteles de invierno, son atraídos fuera del camino y emboscados por guerreros germanos. Los germanos están liderados por Arminio, un jefe que es un aliado de confianza de Roma, y un hombre que ha estado planeando en secreto traicionar al imperio desde la infancia. Atrapando a los legionarios de Varo entre una ladera y un pantano, e impidiéndoles así formarse o usar su artillería, Arminio y sus guerreros causan una terrible matanza. La derrota romana es abrumadora, pero no es hasta el tercer día de la masacre que la escala de la victoria de Arminio se hace evidente. Tres legiones, más de catorce mil hombres, han sido aniquiladas, y tres preciados estandartes del águila se han perdido. Solo unos pocos cientos de legionarios, incluido Tulo, logran escapar. Tampoco ha terminado la terrible experiencia de los supervivientes. Perseguidos hasta el último fuerte romano al este del Rin, son asediados por miles de tribus sedientas de sangre. Solo los dioses pueden salvarlos ahora.
