Description
PREORDER SIMON TURNEY'S THRILLING NEW ROMAN EMPIRE NOVEL, AGRICOLA: WARRIOR, NOW!
Rome's Twenty Second Legion must battle the armies of the fabled Warrior Queen.
Egypt, 25 BC. Formed from the personal guard of a conquered king, the Twenty Second Legion's ways are strange to soldiers of Rome, yet the legion has proved its worth to the Empire in the blistering heat of the Egyptian desert.
Now, veteran combat medic Titus Cervianus and his comrades march into the unknown as the Twenty Second Legion heads to war with the Bellatrix: the Warrior Queen of Kush.
Kush and Egypt have united against the Roman presence in their lands. Cervianus and his comrades must brace themselves for a furious onslaught as they take on the mighty armies of the Bellatrix.
A breathtaking Roman adventure perfect for fans of Ben Kane and Simon Scarrow.
