Sinossi
La saga di Correo e Flavio
Due fratelli. Due guerrieri. La brutale lotta per il potere è cominciata.
I secolo d.C.
Correo e Flavio sono fratellastri, figli di un acclamato generale: Appio Giuliano, comandante della decima legione. Correo, figlio di una schiava, è un guerriero abilissimo, destinato a eccellere. Flavio, nobile di nascita, deve lottare senza sosta per avere successo.
Sono due facce diverse della stessa medaglia; capi opposti destinati a percorrere strade parallele, tracciate sin dalla nascita. Entrambi puntano al ruolo di centurioni, una posizione che Flavio ritiene sua per diritto e che Correo ha a lungo desiderato, e affronteranno insieme la brutale realtà della guerra.
Combattere i barbari si rivelerà pericoloso, non solo per i loro corpi, ma anche per le loro anime…
Perfetto per i lettori di Simon Scarrow e Anthony Riches
«Un approccio completamente inedito alla narrativa storica. Un libro imperdibile.»
«La storia di due fratellastri simili ma profondamente diversi. Si legge con gusto.»
«Epico, commovente, profondo e ricco di azione.»

I've enjoyed this series much more than I've enjoyed any fiction in a while. Just masterfully done popular fiction. This is the first of four volumes. I've never heard of this author. But she is superior. I will look for more.
Wonderful book This book is about two half brothers, one the son of a retired general and the other the son of the general and his mistress who was a slave. We see how the brothers grow up competing against each other for their father’s blessing. When they join the Army their lives are forever intwi Leggi tutto
An oustanding read, FINALLY on kindle. As the years have gone bye, the type-face of my books have shrunk. The kindle version has one minor flaw ( in my opinion ) that will go unnoticed by new readers. An event which was significant to Correus has undergone some editing. Readers of the hard copy lik

Brothers in love and war. This first book in the Centurions trilogy is a very refreshing approach to the story that is Rome and it's conquests. Correus, the son of a general and slave, is immediately likeable, drawing you into a fascinating web of love and loyalty. I found it difficult to put this bo Leggi tutto
A great book. This is a cracking adventure novel set in Ancient Rome and on the German frontier. There are battles, political intrigue, personal feuds, love interest and enigmas aplenty. If you like a good adventure, this is for you. At first I worried that the central plot line would come across as Leggi tutto
