Treachery
Atticus Perennis, prefect of the Roman fleet, waits restlessly in Carthage.
His crew is agitated, as they wait on edge for news from Rome, hoping the powers-that-be send more ships to help his Carthaginian forces put down a rebel mercenary army. When word reaches them that a fleet is on their way, it seems there might be an end in sight to the ceaseless violence.
However, the optimism does not last long. When an act of treachery by the Carthaginian side is committed against their Roman brothers in arms, the wheels of counter-revenge, bloodshed and savagery are set in motion.
As treachery and deception threaten the lives of Atticus and his men, all sides must come to a final stand.
John Stack was born and lives in County Cork. He is married with three children, and is the author of the Sunday Times bestselling Masters of the Sea series.

For everyone who enjoying story about war and Roman historical story, this book is a amazing addition for your collection. The pace suit me well and the character have enough depth and unique voice. I am enjoy every moment I spent to read this book.
I need time to grapple the storyline because this is not first book and I not yet found the previous installment in my country. But it is take time but worth.
Thank you Netgalley and publisher to provide me with this amazing book.
