The Lost Expedition - Francis Hagan - Bog

A Roman expedition lost and marching across the 'Roof of the World'; a desperate Senator alone in a city of mirrors looking for his youth; a cavalry officer caught in that fog between his mind and his eyes; a fateful voyage of one last galley into a sea riddled with Vandals; an ancient Labyrinth under the sands of the Empire larger than Rome itself; a last philosopher on his death-bed as all his past faces fall from him in time - these and others are some of the tales contained within this collection. Inside, you will find allegory and the clangour of arms intertwining in that elusive shadow that is the End of Empire. Here is a collection of parables and heroics which collude and collide uneasily against each other. As well as the novella 'The Lost Expedition', printed for the first time, this collection also includes 'The Navigatio' and 'The Battle of Mons Aelian' which are also available as standalone short-stories.
