He's ordered by Sejanus [actually Sejanus's servant FOR Sejanus to go to the village of his birth, obtain an unusual animal for the arena and transport it back to Rome. His family will be held hostage until he returns. A spy is in their midst, unbeknownst to Serpicus, companions, and soldiers helping him. There are many exciting scenes, the most memorable being his journey to Germany and the skirmish between Romans and his villagers. There were many implausible incidents and the deus ex machina trope was used too often: last-minute rescues, etc. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Rome, AD 34. While the Emperor Tiberius indulges himself in Capri, his cruel and self-serving regent Sejanus rules in his place. It is a time of tyranny and terror. Once a charioteer but now a hunter providing wild animals for Rome's voracious Games, Serpicus longs for a quiet life. But Sejanus' uncle has made him an offer he cannot refuse. He must journey north, over the Aips, deep into Germany where the tribes are in revolt against their Imperial oppressors, and there take possession of an exceptionally rare but dangerous beast. To his companions, the mission is suicide. To make matters worse, it seems Serpicus has made a deadly enemy of the man who now leads the legions against the tribes and that there are others who will stop at nothing to ensure he and his colleagues fall. Not least the traitor in their midst. Now, inside a village a long way from home and facing a Roman army set on revenge, Serpicus is trapped. The family he adores is held hostage in Rome but the first woman he ever loved stands, sword drawn, ready to fight and, should the gods will it, die by his side. He has choices to make, but no time to make them... men, this enthralling historical adventure recounts one man's struggle to protect those he loves, whatever the cost.
