The Roman Emperor Aurelian has defeated Queen Zenobia and crushed the Palmyran revolt.

Faridun's Banner, hallowed battle standard of the Persian Empire, has fallen into Roman hands and is to be returned to the Persians as part of a historic peace treaty. But on the eve of the signing the banner goes missing.

Recalled to Syria, imperial agent Cassius Corbulo is charged with recovering the flag. Accompanied by his faithful servant Simo and ex-gladiator bodyguard Indavara, Cassius must journey across the dangerous wastes of Syria to the equally perilous streets of Antioch. He and his companions face ruthless brigands, mysterious cults, merciless assassins and intrigue at every turn.

Reviews for The Imperial Banner: Agent of Rome 2

Praise for AGENT OF ROME: THE SIEGE -- : 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 engaging. I 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 'Nick Brown has the craft of storytelling at his fingertips ... The Siege is a fast-paced and satisfying read' -- Russell Whitfield, author of Gladiatrix
