A gripping addition to the [Agent of Rome] series. * The Times *
This entertaining adventure thrills from the outset but it also has much to say on that living, breathing monster of the Roman Empire - slavery. * Sunday Express *
It's hard to avoid a comparison with the Empress of Roman crime, Lindsey Davis, but for me, Nick Brown holds his own in such exalted company. * crimereview.co.uk *
Praise for AGENT OF ROME: THE IMPERIAL BANNER:
'THE IMPERIAL BANNER is Roman adventure at its best . . . brutal action leavened by a cynical brand of military humour, history, mystery, romance and an almost tangible sense of cohesion and camaraderie amongst Cassius and his cohorts. It's a formula that works well in so Brown's capable hands . . . Cassius's next assignment can't come too soon!'
* Lancashire Evening Post *
If you love Scarrow, adore Iggulden and of course admire Scott, then make sure you add Brown to your list. Great stuff. * Falcata Times *
Praise for AGENT OF ROME: THE SIEGE:
'A masterful debut from a new author completely at home in this era'

Once the action kicks off you won't be able to put it down. * Anthony Riches, author of the
Empire series *
Perfect pace, vivid combat sequences and superb characterisation *

Brown promises to be one of the most exciting sword-wielding writers in an ever-popular arena. * Oxford Times *
A thrilling and fascinating coming-of-age adventure * Book Gazette *
Nick Brown has the craft of storytelling at his fingertips ... The Siege is a fast-paced and satisfying read * Russell Whitfield, author of
Gladiatrix *
Brown has given this Roman military/adventure story a great twist in having Cassius hail from the secret service ranks . . .
THE SIEGE
is also a character study and offers a rare glimpse into 3rd century Rome and her occupation of Syria. * Historical Novels Review *
