Book description
With all the fire and passion of the ancient Romans, The Sword
of Revenge follows in the epic footsteps of top ten
bestseller The Pillars of Rome.
Rome has lost its greatest warrior - for Aulus, the doom-laden
prophecy of forty years earlier has come to pass. It is now left to
Lucius to defy the oracle's curse alone, and the corrupt and
powerful senator leaves nothing to chance in his bid to survive. But
one boy, alone in the world, holds the key to his fate, and the
future of the Roman Republic.
Jack Ludlow is the pen-name of writer David Donachie, who was born
in Edinburgh in 1944. He has always had an abiding interest in the
Roman Republic as well as the naval history of the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, which he drew on for the many historical
adventure novels he has set in that period. David lives in Deal with
his partner, the novelist Sarah Grazebrook.
