In this, the final part of the Atticus Series, I'd grown more confident about my fiction writing. For a time, I was a little concerned that some readers appeared to be purchasing the book, or listening to the audio version, without having read parts 1 and 2.
However, the book seems to do well as a stand-alone story and doesn't require a grasp of the first two in the series.
I guess there's not much I can say other than offer the associated blurb:
Britannia 383 CE: General Magnus Maximus is crowned emperor by his own legions. Taking advantage of the unpopularity of the Western Emperor Gration, he strips Britannia of its legions and moves to Gaul where he seizes power and plots his next move. In this, the third story in the Atticus series, our young tribune finds himself posted to Italia where he waits for the inevitable clash between Western and Eastern empires. But before any battles, he must deal with spies, betrayal, assassinations and rumours of invasion. With the fate of the Western legions tied to that of their emperor there can only be one winner. Catch up with Atticus in this exciting climax to the Atticus trilogy.
