About This Book
The battle-hardened Roman legion return! For fans of Ben Kane, Conn Iggulden, Bernard Cornwell and Simon Scarrow. Glory is fleeting... Germania, 59 AD Centurion Marcus Corvo and his Legion of the Damned, a force of expendables comprised of ex-gladiators, slaves and deserters, have done the impossible and rescued Legate Crispus' son from war-torn Armenia. Their reward was to be freedom and a pardon, and for Corvo it was the chance to step out of his ancestors' shadows. After learning that Legate Crispus has been exiled to Germania by a jealous and suspicious Emperor Nero, and determined that his men should receive their rewards, Corvo leads the survivors north in search of the legate. In Germania, the Damned come to the aid of some legionaries led by a centurion who tells them that Emperor Nero considered Crispus successes a threat and so sent him north where he lives in constant fear of an imperial assassin. But without the backing of Crispus, Corvo and the Damned are right back where they started, and further from Rome than ever... And with local tribes readying for attack, it seems they once more need to prepare for battle. Will the Damned find another way to bring honour to Rome? Will they survive the harsh forests of Germania? Or are they doomed to remain exiled from their homeland...? FORESTS OF DEATH is the second book in the Legion of the Damned Roman Thrillers series: action-packed, authentic historical military adventures set in Ancient Rome.
