Sands of Egypt

Marius' Mules, Book 12

By: S.J.A. Turney

Narrated by: Malk Williams

Winter, 48 BC. Caesar and his small force are trapped in the Egyptian city of Alexandria. Caught up in the dynastic struggles of the House of Ptolemy, the consul has sided with the clever and ruthless Queen Cleopatra. Her brother and fellow monarch, Ptolemy XIII, languishes in the palace, a hostage of Caesar's, while a huge army under the command of the Egyptian General Achillas closes on the city to free him.

With both the future of this ancient land and the safety of Caesar and his men at stake, Fronto and his friends face the terrible task of holding an unfamiliar city under siege, in the desperate hope that reinforcements will reach them before the enemy break in.

But Egyptian reinforcements gather, too, and with the interference of the youngest princess, Arsinoe, the future is far from written. Trapped, besieged and outnumbered, time is running out for the Romans, as shadows loom across the sands of Egypt.

Love this series!

Will have this whole series in my library for ever! These are timeless stories. I started reading when I was still active duty and descriptions of the Legates and Centurions inspired me to be a better Master Sergeant in the USAF.... Thank you Mr Turney. To Mr Williams, Thank you for your amazing ability to bring these characters to life. May the Gods bless you both! An old crusty retired USAF Senior NCO raises a glass to you both. SKOL! 🤘
