The Battle of the Lost Eagle saved Hadrian’s Wall , but the new Roman governor of Britannia must stamp out the rebellion of the northern tribes or risk losing the province.

Rampaging south with sword and flame under the command of their murderous chieftain Calgus, they have stretched his forces to the limit…

‘A master of the genre’ The Times

For Marcus – now simply Centurion Corvus of the 1st Tungrian cohort – the campaign has become doubly dangerous. As reinforcements flood into Britannia he is surrounded by new officers with no reason to protect him from the emperor’s henchmen. Death could result from a careless word as easily as from an enemy spear

Worse, one of them is close on his heels. While Marcus is training two centuries of Syrian archers to survive a barbarian charge and then take the fight back to their enemy, the new prefect of the 2nd Tungrians has discovered his secret. Only a miracle can save Marcus and the men who protect him from disgrace and death . . .

Anthony Riches once again brings meticulous research together with brilliant storytelling to capture the authentic feel of what life was like for the Roman Army in a brutal war with a remorseless enemy.

Reviews

<i>Canberra Times</i> on <i>Wound of Honour</i>
'With Wounds of Honour Anthony Riches has produced a terrific first novel that focuses on the soldiers of the Roman Empire in great detail. He vibrantly portrays the life in an auxiliary unit.'
<i>Good Reading Magazine</i> on <i>Wounds of Honour</i>
'An unputdownable read.'
Conn Iggulden
This is fast-paced and gripping "read-through-the-night" fiction, with marvellous characters and occasional moments of dark humour. Some authors are better historians than they are storytellers. Anthony Riches is brilliant at both.
NavyNet on ARROWS OF FURY
Riches has captured how soldiers speak and act to a tee and he is very descriptive when it comes to the fighting. It is a novel full of power, lust, envy, violence and vanity. The very things that made Rome great and the very things that would lead to its downfall. If you like historical novels, read this book.
<i>Lancashire Evening Post</i> on <i>Arrows of Fury</i>
Ancient adventure at its pulsating best! . . . A military expert, Riches brings top-notch drama, vivid storytelling and historical realism to his tales set in a turbulent time.
