Bag om Death at Philippi

"Gripping from start to finish." Alistair Forrest, author of Libertas.42BC.Mark Antony's most dangerous and dedicated agent, Iacomus Artemidorus, is swept overboard from Cleopatra's flagship during a terrible storm. But the near end to the Roman spy is just the beginning. Artemidorus must find a way to travel through enemy-held Thrace and Macedonia until he reaches Antony's beleaguered generals Saxa and Norbanus in the besieged city of Amphipolis. The agent must then proceed to Philippi, carrying valuable intelligence which could change the fate of Rome and history. Standing alongside Mark Antony once more, Artemidorus must hunt down Cassius and Brutus - and exact revenge on those involved in Caesar's assassination on the Ides of March. The battle - and war - must be won.

Praise for Peter Tonkin: 'The Ides is a testosterone-fuelled battle roar in a world of double-dealing and betrayal, where wits must be sharp and recovery time between violent encounters is brief. Peter Tonkin has infused a familiar narrative with excitement, energy and a delicious twist right at the very end.'
