The Last Centurion

Roman Britain AD 407
'Family or Empire?" that's the question he faces, and he swore an oath to both of them!

When he left the Army, Aethelwolf swore that he would love, honour, and protect his wife and children. When he joined the Army, he swore that he would defend the citizens of the Empire against her enemies, now both are in peril and Aethelwolf, retired Centurion of the legendary ninth legion might be their only hope of survival.

When Saxon hordes land and massacre a village on the East coast of Roman Britain word gets out and more arrive sensing the easy pickings, and rich cities just waiting to be plundered.

For the local population living there, it's a terrifying time as they prepare to meet an onslaught they always though the Romans would deal with, but Rome has gone, and their only hope is a retired centurion. The Last Centurion

Hi there! Lawrence Here. Just taking a moment to say a big hello and that I hope you enjoy the book.

I love a good yarn, and I think this is a great one. A lot of the book is based around my experience as both a Soldier in the British Army and my experience in Iraq as an aid worker in the nineties, and I'll let you into a secret, this nearly did happen (but don't tell the wife PLEASE!)
