      25 d.C. Quando il giovane Telemaco ha l'occasione di unirsi all'equipaggio della nave mercantile Selene, è felice di lasciarsi alle spalle le difficoltà di una vita di stenti tra i vicoli di Atene. Poco dopo aver mollato gli ormeggi, però, una nave pirata appare all'orizzonte e l'assalto si trasforma in una feroce carneficina... Bulla, il comandante nemico, offre ai superstiti una scelta atroce: unirsi a loro oppure venire uccisi. Dopo un rito di iniziazione brutale, la determinazione di Telemaco conquista la fiducia del suo nuovo capitano. E ben presto il ragazzo di un tempo si trasforma in uno dei più temuti uomini che osano solcare il mare Adriatico. Tra arrembaggi, omicidi, rischi di ammutinamento e la furia delle onde, si intravede in lontananza una minaccia ancora peggiore: Roma intende riprendere il controllo dei mari. Riuscirà Telemaco a imporsi come capo della fratellanza dei pirati per tentare l'impresa impossibile di sfidare l'impero?

      INVADER is a Sunday Times bestseller from Simon Scarrow (author of the bestsellers BRITANNIA and CENTURION) and T. J. Andrews, co-author of the bestselling INVADER. Featuring the Roman army officer Figulus in first-century Britannia, INVADER is not to be missed by readers of Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell. Roman Britain, AD 44. The land is far from tamed. A puppet king is doing little to calm the hatred of the native tribes. Fighting is in Optio Horatius Figulus' blood. His Celtic ancestry gives him the toughness essential for survival. That toughness will be tested to the very limit when he is sent on a mission deep in hostile territory. And Figulus knows that, even utterly crushed in battle, their warriors routed and the Druids driven from their hill forts, the tribesmen of Britannia will sooner die than surrender. Figulus fought alongside Macro and Cato in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Eagles of the Empire series. In INVADER, he stands alone. INVADER has previously been published in five separate ebook novellas.
