A MAN AT ARMS - STEVEN PRESSFIELD TASCHENBUCH

Jerusalem and the Sinai desert  first century AD. In the turbulent aftermath of the crucifixion
of Jesus  officers of the Roman Empire acquire intelligence of a pilgrim bearing an incendiary
letter from a religious fanatic to insurrectionists in Corinth. The content of this letter
could bring down the empire. The Romans hire a former legionary  the solitary man-at-arms 
Telamon of Arcadia  to intercept the letter and capture its courier. Telamon operates by a dark
code all his own  with no room for noble causes or lofty beliefs. But once he overtakes the
courier  something happens that neither he nor the empire could have predicted. In his first
novel of the ancient world in thirteen years  the best-selling author of Gates of Fire and
Tides of War returns with a gripping saga of conquest and rebellion  bloodshed and faith.
