Ergebnis für "Vindolanda" in Thriller

The bustling army base at Vindolanda lies on the northern frontier of Britannia and the entire Roman world. In just over twenty years time, the Emperor Hadrian will build his famous wall. But for now defences are weak as tribes rebel against Rome, and local druids preach the fiery destruction of the invaders. It falls to Flavius Ferox, Briton and Roman centurion, to keep the peace. But it will take more than just a soldier's courage to survive life in Roman Britain.

Flavius Ferox, Briton turned Roman centurion, is charged with keeping Rome's empire safe. But from his base at the northern frontier of Britannia, he feels enemies closing in from all sides. And now more sinister threats are reaching Ferox's ears. Ambitious leaders await the chance to carve out empires of their own. While men nearer at hand speak in whispers of war and the destruction of Rome. Stories about the sea-dwelling men of the night, who have cursed the land and only come ashore to feast on men's flesh.

Britannia, 98 n.Chr.. De bruisende legerbasis Vindolanda ligt aan de noordelijke grens van het Romeinse Rijk. Het zal nog zo'n twintig jaar duren voordat keizer Hadrianus zijn beroemde muur bouwt, dus de verdediging is zwak. De omringende volkeren komen in opstand tegen de Romeinen en lokale druïden prediken de ondergang van de indringers.
