Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Led by Commander Marcus Artorius Agricola, the five thousand soldiers of Rome's Ninth Legion are legendary for their aggressive fighting skills and superb leadership. The Legion is stationed in Britannia in the year AD 122, and Rome sends them north of York to subdue the unruly Pict tribes. But when they arrive, the unthinkable happens. They are routed and forced to flee toward the coast, ending up at a Pict holy place. Here, the entire Legion is mysteriously teleported to England at the beginning of World War II. The terrified men suddenly find themselves pursued from the air by "flying crosses" and on the ground by a relentless crew of British soldiers. The Legion flees to Crail, Scotland, trying to come to grips with their new reality. They discover that one of the Picts, a vicious holy man named Mormaer, has time-traveled with them. Worse, he is quickly learning the ways of this new world and won't hesitate to use his deadly knowledge against his enemies. When the Legion discovers that they are right in the path of another invading force-the Germans-they know they will continue to do their duty and defend Great Britain. But their shields and swords are no match for this era's technology. What's more, with Mormaer waiting to strike, the Legion may not survive what could be their last battle.

Book Synopsis The Disappearing Ninth Legion by : Mark Olly
Download or read book The Disappearing Ninth Legion written by Mark Olly and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2011-06-16 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Disappearing Ninth Legion puts this mysterious Roman legion firmly back on the historic map. A great deal of fiction and conjecture has appeared in books, films, and on the internet, but this book draws on actual historical and up-to-date archaeological information to paint a picture of the real legion as it was, its development, expansion, structure, assignments under the Caesars and the Roman Empire, its supposed disappearance from York, then further evidence for its survival in Europe, the East, and possibly even China, as the mighty world of the Romans gradually fell apart. Was the legion simply broken up and re-assigned or do they still march the moorlands and streets of Eastern Britain, a lost ghostly army cursed and vanquished by the Druids and Celts? It's all here written and presented in an easy and non-technical way by one of Britain's best up-and-coming story tellers and presenters.

Book excerpt: An awe-inspiring account of the final days of Rome’s forgotten legion. The Ninth Hispana was once the pride of the Roman Army, wreathed in honour for numerous successful campaigns. But by the time it was joined by Centurion Justinius Corvus, it had clearly fallen on hard times. Smarting from the sting of his recent demotion, and a transfer to Britain, a land he despises, Justinius nevertheless works hard to bring to his men some of the same pride he feels as a Roman soldier. As their bond grows strong, with each other and with the occupied land, their skill in combat is tested to its limits against the forces of Vortrix, High King of the Britons. As the battle lines muster, the fate of an Army, and of a nation, will be decided... The Legions of the Mist is an earth-shattering tale of loyalty, love and war, perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow, Conn Iggulden and Ben Kane.

Book Synopsis Last of the Ninth by : Stephen Lorne Bennett
Download or read book Last of the Ninth written by Stephen Lorne Bennett and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-27 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Roman legion annihilated, an imperial agent vanished. Malorix, a deadly agent of the Imperial Secret Service, follows their trail eastward to Parthia and beyond. Haunted by supernatural forces and his own past, he will join forces with Lucian, a deviously subtle spy-handler, as they struggle to unravel a conspiracy to unseat an emperor. To survive Malorix will have to learn what is to be a leader and confront the terrible spectre that haunts the last survivors of Rome's most infamous legion. Last of the Ninth tells a story of one man's struggle for redemption and belief.Review from the historical Novel Society: In Bennett's gripping, fast-paced novel, Decimus Malorix, a Sarmatian member of the Frumentarii, ancient Rome's "secret police" (a formidable character feared even by his own people and known as "the Emperor's assassin"), is sent on a perilous mission: to trace the mysterious disappearance of the Ninth Legion and to recover, if possible, the secret agent working in its ranks - before that agent's explosive revelations can become public.Malorix's quest takes him across a chunk of the first-century Roman Empire, and the pace of Bennett's narrative never slackens. The dialogue is crisply believable, and there are elements of the climax that even the most veteran reader of Roman historical fiction won't see coming. Highly recommended.

The Northern tribes especially the Picts are ransacking our supplies in Alauna and Vindolanda, legion morale is very low as are the wine supplies. Please resupply with wine as soon as possible and send more men if you can spare them before we lose a foothold in the North. Praise the Emperor," recalled the messenger.Being a soldier in the Roman Army is not for the faint of heart and certainly not for awkward teenagers with large feet they have not yet grown into like Maximus Scaredicus. His instructors at the prestigious military academy think he is a walking catastrophe, he accidentally set fire to the party tent, burning a large hole in the roof. Giving his fellow recruits nightmares they all moved leaving him on his own. He is a danger to himself with a sword or any weapon and the instructor that asked Maximus to help him demonstrate how a catapult works... well let's just say he suddenly disappeared into the air. Every time Maximus tries to complete the siege tower exercise he faints, much to annoyance of the other boys in his year that must climb up and carry the unconscious Maximus down and take him to the medical tent. Maximus has failed every class, yet he will graduate, because General Epicondylitis who runs the camp served with his father. Primus Scaredicus now retired was once the highest-ranking military leader in the Roman Empire and still has many friends in the Senate of Rome. He has three sons, Marcus is the oldest and is the youngest General in the Roman Army, the second oldest Varus is leading the war in Germania and Maximus is the youngest. With General Epicondylitis due to retire soon he wants nothing to jeopardise his future, so to save his reputation and for the safety of everyone in Rome, the General has given Maximus a special post, he is to join the Gaul Auxilia at the furthest Northern outpost of the Roman Empire to help build a wall for the Emperor Hadrian to keep out the Picts that ravage the borders in Britannia. Hilarious adventures of a Roman solider about friendship and making the most out of a bad situation, and a tiny bit of history.
