Arena
Ancient Rome provides the setting for the gripping story of the champion gladiator Pavo, trained to kill, and a pawn in the games of the powerful and ambitious. Pavo's journey begins when he encounters the Roman soldier Macro, who has been charged with his training. Bonds of friendship develop between the two men, both aware that their fates depend not only on Pavo's skills in the arena but also on the whims of powerful and ruthless senators. Can Pavo survive to fulfill his most cherished goal - revenge for the murder of his father at the hands of a champion gladiator?

Dr Harry Sidebottom is a leading authority on ancient warfare - he applies his
knowledge with a spectacular flair for sheer explosive action and
knuckle-whitening drama. Fans of Bernard Cornwell will love Sidebottom's
recreation of the ancient world.
It is June 1815, and three
armies have converged on the fields of Waterloo
to fight a historic battle for honor, glory, and civilization. Amidst the
masses of soldiers, five men prepare to face one another: General De Lancey,
Wellington's new Quartermaster-General, recently married and yearning for his
beautiful wife; Colonel MacDonnell, a Scot who must hold his post to the last
man; General Ziethen of the Prussian army, distrustful of the British but vital
to their cause; Marshall Ney, mistrusted by Napoleon but revered by the French
soldiers; and Napoleon himself, who must prove his worth as a great warrior for
the glory of France. As the conflict develops and draws to its bloody
conclusion, each of the five men view the the battle from a different
perspective, and all experience defiance, desperation, and great courage.
