3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
From bestselling historian Adrian Goldsworthy, a profoundly authentic, action-packed adventure set on the northern frontier of the Roman Empire. AD 100: VINDOLANDA. A FORT ON THE EDGE OF THE ROMAN WORLD. Flavius Ferox, Briton turned Roman centurion, is charged with keeping Rome's empire safe. But from his base at the northern frontier of Britannia, he feels enemies closing in from all sides. Ambitious leaders await the chance to carve out empires of their own. While men nearer at hand speak in whispers of war and the destruction of Rome. And now more sinister threats are reaching Ferox's ears. Stories about the sea-dwelling men of the night, who have cursed the land and only come ashore to feast on men's flesh. These are just rumours for now. But Ferox knows that rumours stem from truth. And that no one on this isle is safe from the great, encircling sea... 'An instant classic of the genre' HARRY SIDEBOTTOM. 'An authentic, enjoyable read' THE TIMES.

Mehso-so

Some interesting new characters but I thought the climactic battle went on for a bit too long. Still, I'll carry on for completeness' sake.

The Encircling Sea | Adrian Goldsworthy

The Brigantian had stared at him for a while, the evening shadows making his long face more skulllike than usual. ‘Trying to be the hero again,‘ he said at last. ‘They always die at the end of their story.‘

‘Don‘t we all.‘

Vindex sighed. ‘Aye, we do. No sense in rushing though, especially for you these days.‘
