The Thirteenth Legion (A James Acton Thriller, #15) (James Acton Thrillers) - Plot & Excerpts
Robert Kennedy Lucius Valerius Corvus Residence, Pompeii, Roman Empire July 22, 64 AD Flavus leaned back on the comfortable cushions, his legs stretched out to his side, a bowl of grapes and a glass of wine within reach as slaves waved large fans, taking the edge off the heat. Across from him was Lucius, his best friend of many years. It was a tough visit as it could be their last. “You’re certain you heard him correctly?” Flavus nodded. “Absolutely. We’re not to return. Ever.” “But that makes no sense! I’ve never heard such an order given. Yes, a legion can be sent to a location to potentially be permanently stationed there, but the troops are rotated in and out on a regular basis.” Lucius speared a grape with his dagger. “That must be what he meant.” “That’s what I thought as well, but Legate Catius disagrees.” “You spoke to him of this?” “More like he spoke to me.” Lucius laughed, pulling the skewered grape off the blade with his teeth.
