Description
A Man at Arms: A Novel by Steven Pressfield In the turbulent aftermath of a pivotal event in ancient history, the Roman Empire faces a grave threat. Intelligence suggests that a pilgrim is carrying an incendiary letter to insurrectionists in Corinth, which could bring down the empire. To intercept the letter and capture its courier, the Romans hire Telamon, a former legionary with a dark code of his own. Telamon operates alone, driven by his own rules rather than noble causes or lofty beliefs. However, once he overtakes the courier, events unfold in ways that neither he nor the empire could have predicted. This gripping saga of conquest and rebellion, bloodshed and faith marks Steven Pressfield's return to the ancient world after a thirteen-year absence. With his characteristic mastery of historical fiction, Pressfield weaves a tale of intrigue, action, and complex characters set against the backdrop of first-century AD Jerusalem and the Sinai desert.
