PREORDER SIMON TURNEY'S THRILLING NEW ROMAN EMPIRE NOVEL, AGRICOLA: COMMANDER, NOW!
An empire on the edge. A scheme for glory.
A plan to control the greatest river in the world.
61 AD. Emperor Nero schemes avidly to increase his wealth and slaughter his many enemies, but also seeks glory. He looks south from Rome to Africa.
The great River Nile gives life to the Egyptians, the Kushites, and many other kingdoms. No Roman has ever tracked the Nile to its source. If it can be done, mastery of the greatest waterway in the known world may be possible.
But the mission will be fraught with risks. There are peoples hostile to Rome, vast swathes of desert, fierce beasts... and for the soldiers chosen, the deadly price of failure hanging over their heads.
A gripping historical adventure featuring historical figures from Ancient Rome, perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow and Ben Kane.
