Vespasian: Das Blut des Bruders

The British bestselling epic about the life of Emperor Vespasian continues! Meticulously researched history and gripping action provide the best material for series readers as well as fans of Bernard Cornwell and David Gilman. 45 A.D.: Vespasian's brother Sabinus has been captured by Druids, the feared servants of the spirits and demons of Britain. Vespasian must save Sabinus from a sacrificial death – while also continuing the fight against his old enemy Caratacus, who is thwarting the conquest of the island through cunning and treachery. News from Rome bodes ill: the clumsy Emperor Claudius has the least control over the empire himself, entertaining the masses with bloodthirsty games. His insatiable wife Messalina knows how to manipulate him with her whispers. Claudius' three freedmen are vying for power, and barely back from Britain, Vespasian is drawn into their intrigues.
