Ferocity, heroism, and savage bloodshed: the next gripping instalment in the Twilight of Empire series. For fans of Ben Kane and Conn Iggulden.
When the simmering conflict between Rome and Persia threatens to reignite into open war, there is only one man the Emperor Constantine can trust to hold the eastern frontier.
Aurelius Castus, retired general of the empire, has fought long and hard for Rome. When the summons comes to command an army once more, he obeys with a heavy heart. But is he still the fearsome fighting machine of old?
As tragedy strikes the imperial household, Castus must race to defend the last bulwark standing against the might of Persia. Castus knows that the fight ahead will be the fiercest he has ever known, and will very probably be his last.

Commentaires
Tense and suspenseful, punctuated by horrific violence, unforeseen tragedy, and unexpected heroism (Steven Saylor, author of The Throne of Caesar and the New York Times bestseller Roma: The Novel of Ancient Rome)
Ross is a splendid writer... I was gripped by the unexpected twists and turns as history came to life' (Ruth Downie)
[A] series that doesn't let up in quality
Hugely enjoyable (Conn Iggulden)
Well-crafted, atmospheric and throughly enjoyable (Ben Kane)
A gripping tale, rich in historical detail, evoking political intrigue and the noise and terror of battle and with an ending that caught me completely unawares (David Gilman, author of Night Flight to Paris)
Hot, sweaty, gripping and bloody – Triumph in Dust is bloody good too!
With consummate skill, Ross presents us with a vision of late Rome that is tense, exhilarating, complex and exotic... Triumph in Dust stays with the reader long after the last page is turned' (Simon Turney)
Sprawling in scope and rich in historical detail, this is a gritty, thrilling end to a wonderful series. Ian Ross not only brings us a scintillating tale, with page-turning action and vivid characters, he also writes with such authority and conviction you could believe he has discovered time travel and witnessed the events first-hand... Triumph in Dust is a triumph of historical fiction' (Matthew Harffy)
Ross is wonderful at conjuring up this Rome... Fans of Harry Sidebottom or Ben Kane who are yet to discover Ross will devour this series'
The role early Christians played in the siege is particularly fascinating, but it is the portrait of Castus, a man past his prime, resolutely pagan, vulnerable and brave, who shines in this superb conclusion to a landmark series
