An abundance of Roman novels!

[Paul Elliott]

Thanks Francis. The book is now on Amazon, available for the kindle! Thanks for the advice, it was an easier process than I expected, although trying to get my maps of Mesopotamia to format without leaving a blank page proved insoluably frustrating! If I may:

Behind the Eagles

AD 363

The Roman emperor Julian leads a huge army into Iraq – home to the unassailable Persians. Only a tiny fraction of the army will ever reach home again …

Caught up in this awful disaster is Dionysus, a new recruit to the legions, who by degrees is drawn into a plot against the emperor Julian. The book swoops right in to the ground level bringing to the reader the heat and dust, the blood and flies of the desert war. With it too comes the burning fear of death, but also of discovery.

On the march and in the battles his mind is torn by his love for a girl left behind at his last billet, and his hatred for a squad member who brags of taking his girl by force before they left for war.

Dionysus’ longing for home and hatred for the emperor who he blames for the war, fuel his determination to win out against the odds...

I look forward to reading it - let me know when it is available and I well certainly download and hopefully write up the first review! I am less than a month away from finishing off my own novel for Amazon Kindle but which I have been epublishing in a serial novella form at Smashwords (yes, Julian is in it, too!).
