'Vivid characters, devious plotting and buckets of gore are enhanced by his unfamiliar choice of period. Nasty, fun and educational.' -- Daily Telegraph on THE TERROR OF CONSTANTINOPLE 'He knows how to deliver a fast-paced story and his grasp of the period is impressively detailed' -- Mail on Sunday on THE TERROR OF CONSTANTINOPLE 'A rollicking and raunchy read ... Anyone who enjoys their history with large dollops of action, sex, intrigue and, above all, fun will absolutely love this novel.' -- Historical Novels Review on THE TERROR OF CONSTANTINOPLE 'Fascinating to read, very well written, an intriguing plot and I enjoyed it very much.' -- Derek Jacobi on CONSPIRACIES OF ROME
Murderous intrigue brings Aelric - Blake's engaging, murderous antihero - to Damascus as the triumphant Muslim caliphate sweeps up from Arabia to threaten Constantinople itself. Aelric knows the secrets behind Greek Fire - the flame-throwers that have kept what is left of the once-mighty Roman empire safe until now. And he has very little choice about sharing them with the new rulers. Or so they think ...for Aelric has not lost any of the cunning and courage that so far, have kept him alive.
