A gripping historical thriller and the third instalment in the Rome's Invincibles saga. The battle for control of Rome continues.

Octavian has defeated and killed Caesar's assassins, but the road to absolute power is still long and treacherous. A threat now comes from Sextus Pompeius – a cunning pirate who rules the Italian coastline, terrorising Perugia's citizens.

Suddenly, Civil War seems like child's play in comparison to a campaign against piracy. Octavian is close to defeat and death. Everything seems to conspire against him: his enemy appears divinely blessed, public opinion is against him, the soldiers lack confidence in their commander, and rebellion is just around the corner...

A thrilling, fast-paced historical adventure, that will hook fans of Conn Iggudlen, Robert Harris and Damion Hunter.
