Description: Third and final instalment in the fun, action-packed historical fantasy series about a secret order of Roman monster-hunters.
"Fear... Terror... Something in the air." The Fort is under siege. Aemilius and the Hidden Legion, joined by their new Gaulish and Celtic allies, are led by the ghostly centurion Felix along a road through the Underworld to help break the siege. And they must go quickly, because their enemies are strong, and fierce, and many. Back at the Fort, the augurs Flaxus and Egenny struggle with the signs. All is dark, and obscure, and full of fear. They are sure that the enemy is gathering strength against them, and against the whole Empire. And evil is brewing, even in the Emperor's palace itself...Brief description: A teacher, a stand-up comic, former cement packing factory worker and graduate of the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, Snorri Kristjánsson also writes things. Sometimes they are books (mainly about Vikings), sometimes they are films (mainly not about Vikings) or silly stage plays (you probably don't want to know, to be honest). He now spends his days working with words, eating cakes and teaching Drama.
Review Quotes: "Kristjansson's sleek, action-packed tale is the blend of The Dirty Dozen and Ray Harryhausen we didn't know we needed." --The Financial Times on The Hidden Legion
