Translation of: A man at arms.
Description
Del exitoso autor de Gates of Fire llega una epopeya histórica sobre los primeros años del Imperio Romano. A Man at Arms es un western ambientado en Jerusalén y el desierto del Sinaí en el siglo I d. C., unos años después de la crucifixión de Jesús de Nazaret. Los villanos son los romanos. Están persiguiendo a un mensajero que lleva una carta incendiaria del apóstol Pablo. Para los agentes de Roma, esta carta representa una amenaza existencial que propagará una nueva fe y una nueva forma de resistencia entre aquellos que sufren bajo el yugo del Imperio Romano. Los romanos contratan a un mercenario llamado Telamon, anteriormente de la Décima Legión romana, para interceptar y destruir la carta. Telamon solo pelea por dinero. Se le ha garantizado una rica recompensa, pero no debe fallar porque el castigo por fallar es la muerte por crucifixión.
Description
From the bestselling author of Gates of Fire comes an historical epic about the early years of the Roman Empire. A Man at Arms is a Western set in Jerusalem and the Sinai desert in the first century AD, a few years after the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth. The villains are the Romans. They're in pursuit of a courier bearing an incendiary letter from Paul the Apostle. For agents of Rome, this letter represents an existential threat that will propagate a new faith and a new form of resistance among those who suffer under the heel of the Roman Empire. The Romans hire a mercenary named Telamon, formerly of the Roman Tenth Legion, to interdict and destroy the letter. Telamon only fights for money. He's been guaranteed a rich reward, but he must not fail because the punishment for failure is death by crucifixion.
