The Encircling Sea
Flavius Ferox, Briton turned Roman centurion, is charged with keeping Rome's empire intact.

Stories about the boat-dwelling men of the night, who have cursed the land and only come ashore to feast on men's flesh. These are just rumours for now. But Ferox knows that rumours stem from truth. And that no one on this isle is safe from the great, encircling sea...

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Praise the gods, Ferox returns in a novel of explosive action and profound authenticity. No one knows the Roman army better than Adrian Goldsworthy, and no one writes more convincing Roman fiction” —Harry Sidebottom

“Adrian Goldsworthy undoubtedly knows his stuff” —For Winter Nights

“Goldsworthy really knows the past and makes it feel like you're living it” —Weekend Sport

“With Goldsworthy's academic background, the historical accuracy of the novel is unquestioned. More impressive are the quality of the narrative and the complexity of the characters. More of an adventure novel than the usual sword-and-sandals epic... A hugely enjoyable read by a master of non-fiction turned deft hand at Roman historical fiction'” —Historical Novel Society
