Requirements: MOBI / ePUB Reader, 1.2 MB
Overview: AD 34: Sebastos Pantera is twelve. Training for the time when he too will be a soldier of Rome, he follows his father to a garden tomb on the outskirts of Jerusalem – where he watches him greet two men and a heavily pregnant woman – and in a moment that changes his life for ever, sees a wounded revolutionary being brought out alive … Twenty years later on a strip of sand in Gaul, a grubby urchin watches a ship land, and a man with a badly scarred face disembark. The man is Pantera, assassin and spy for the Legions, returning from five years’ undercover in Britannia. Pantera is sick of spying. But a deadly combination of old loyalties and a sense of unfinished business combine to lure him homeward to the city of Rome. Charged by his former mentor and spymaster, the Machiavellian Seneca the Younger, to root out the revolutionaries responsible for the city’s seething unrest, Pantera soon finds that the main trouble maker is none other than his closest friend Saulos, a recent convert to the new religion of Christianity, and who is planning the biggest single act of terrorism the Roman empire has known. Spying, forbidden secrets, an ancient manuscript and an apocalyptic fire combine in a gripping thriller that will change the way we think about the ancient world.
The Emperor: Nero, Emperor of Rome and all her provinces, feared by his subjects for his temper and cruelty, is in possession of an ancient document predicting that Rome will burn.
The Spy: Sebastos Pantera, assassin and spy for the Roman Legions, is ordered to stop the impending cataclysm. He knows that if he does not, his life – and those of thousands of others – are in terrible danger.
The Chariot Boy: Math, a young charioteer, is a pawn drawn into the deadly game between the Emperor and the Spy, where death stalks the drivers – on the track and off it.
