Scutarius: Can the weary Roman cohort finally conquer the Alps...? (Quintus Roman Thrillers Book 5) Kindle Edition

by Neil Denby (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
The battle continues for a weary Roman cohort! For fans of Ben Kane, Conn Iggulden, Bernard Cornwell and Simon Scarrow.

Will the odds ever be in their favour…?

In the high Alpen lands, Tiberius, General, Praetor, son of Caesar Augustus, is incensed by the insolence of the native tribesmen who dare to oppose him.

First Spear Centurion Julius Quintus Quirinius and his depleted cohort are posted behind enemy lines to eliminate them. They are to be irregulars, to act as shield-bearer or ‘scutarius’ to Tiberius’ armies, keeping the way before them clear.

If they succeed, Quintus and his men could win back their rightful ranks and stations in the legions. And might even finally be allowed to return to Rome.

But unfamiliar with the rapid turning of the seasons in the mountains, Quintus finds himself trapped by snow and lost in the vast lands of the enemy.

He needs to find a way forward, to do service to Caesar’s sons, but the task seems increasingly impossible.

Can Quintus find his way back to the battle? Could victory in the Alps be in his grasp?

Or will the fickle gods once more betray him…?

My years of publishing academic texts are behind me - many are out of print although of course they still appear on my profile.

I am excited now to turn my hand to writing historical novels - set in the early years of the Augustan principate (1st century BCE). The first book in the Quintus Roman series ‘Legionary’ was published March 17th 2023. Second book, ‘Decanus’ was published August 26th 2023.

Delighted that both have been bought by Tantor Media and the audiobooks are now available from January 2024 (Legionary) and February 2024 (Decanus). Matthew Lloyd Davies does a brilliant job of narrating.

Third book (Optio) was published in January 2024 and number Four (Centurion) in September 2024. Next in the series: ‘Scutarius’ (shield-bearer) is about to enter first edit stage before going on pre release on Amazon. Thanks to all readers, especially those wonderful people who leave positive reviews.
