Publisher's Summary:
AD 270. Rome has ruled Syria for over three centuries. But now the weakened empire faces a desperate threat: Queen Zenobia of Palmyra has turned her Roman-trained army against her former masters, and the once invincible legions have been crushed. Arabia, Palestine and Egypt have fallen, and now Antioch, Syria's capital, stands exposed.
A mere scattering of divided and demoralised legionaries remain, backed up by some fractious Syrian auxiliaries and a drunken Praetorian Guardsman. With the Palmyrans just days away, Cassius must somehow find the discipline, resourcefulness and courage to organise the garrison, save Alauran and secure Rome's eastern frontier....
Critic Reviews:
"Once the action kicks off you won't be able to put it down." (Anthony Riches, author of the Empire series)
"The Siege is an excellent debut novel and delivers a thrilling and fascinating coming-of-age adventure." (Book Gazette)
