When Valens, a junior officer in the Roman Army, joins a crack squad of soldiers on a dangerous mission, little does he know what's in store for him. Tasked with rescuing the young Prince Sasan, who has been imprisoned in the impenetrable Castle of Silence, the troops set out across Mesopotamia and into the mountains south of the Caspian Sea. Deep in hostile territory, inexperienced Valens finds himself in charge. And as one by one his soldiers die or disappear, he begins to suspect that there is a traitor in their midst, and that the rescue is fast becoming a suicide mission. Valens must marshal this disparate group of men and earn their respect, before it's too late. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Every cliché of espionage-thriller novels was used except the setting. In spite of that, the novel read enjoyably, smoothly, and quickly. There was a note of suspense and mystery--who was the traitor? Excitement ran through nearly every page. With the introduction of a female character, I cringed at the thought of love interest but the author avoided that banality; Lucia served her purposes--"damsel in distress" and later guide, then was written out of the story. The greeting "Health and great joy" irritated me every time it appeared. Did the author intend to show the characters were speaking Greek then?
