The Siege by Nick Brown
One Hundred Men Stand Between Empire and Annihilation.
Agent of Rome is a masterful debut from a new author completely at home in this era; the writing is deft, the action swift and bloody and the characters believable and engagingI look forward greatly to the next one. * Manda Scott *
Once the action kicks off you won't be able to put it down. * Anthony Riches, author of the Empire series *
'Brown's intelligent and exhilarating story excels in its perfect pace, vivid combat sequences and superb characterisation. The Siege delivers a thrilling coming-of-age adventure with an unlikely but likeable hero whose exploits are set to win an army of fans' * Lancashire Evening Post *
'Brown promises to be one of the most exciting sword-wielding writers in an ever-popular arena. In this, his debut, his principal is a 19-year-old fresh-faced officer commanding 100 men in defence of a Syrian stronghold against a vastly superior force. There are echoes of Beau Geste in this death-or-glory stand.' * The Oxford Times *
'The Siege is an excellent debut novel and delivers a thrilling and fascinating coming-of-age adventure' * Book Gazette *
