Paperback. Condition: Very Good. PROCLAIMED A HERO OF ROME, CENTURION MARCUS ARRIUS IS OFFERED COMMAND OF THE PRAETORIAN GUARD IN ROME BUT INSTEAD CHOOSES DUTY ON HADRIAN'S WALL AS FAR FROM ROME AS HE CAN GET.

Arrius now understood the intense expression on Turbo's face when he said farewell three days ago. General, I believe it was not intended for you to know more than you were told.
