Ends of the earth
Colin’s second most popular book. Action and adventure in foreign lands… and the lost legion of Carrhae. Brilliant!
A lost legion. A Han emperor. A mute killer. An incredible adventure.
The Roman Empire, 53BC: In the wake of catastrophic defeat at the battle of Carrhae, Roman tribune, Valerius, is taken prisoner at the far reaches of the Parthian Empire. It is the ends of the earth, and he vows to somehow find a way home.
Meanwhile in Rome, his wife thinks he is dead and moves on, and Pompey and Caesar battle for absolute power in the last days of the Republic. The city convulses into riot and civil war.
As he journeys over lands and oceans no Roman has ever seen before, Valerius battles shipwrecks, black hurricanes, pirates and a fellow tribune who wants to crucify him.
But he knows he must find a way to survive, to embrace his wife again, to reclaim his life.
And to put his hands around the neck of the best friend who abandoned him to die on the battlefield.
