Tros of Samothrace 5 - Talbot Mundy - Bog

Tros and the Roman Empire turn to the Egypt of the Pharaohs

In this, the fifth volume of the saga of Tros, king of Samothrace, sea captain and adventurer, our hero finds himself once more enmeshed in the web of intrigue that surrounds the machinations of Julius Caesar in his perpetual lust to take and keep power in the turbulent days of Imperial Rome. Tros's relationship with his adversary continues to be ambivalent as by turns he finds himself opposed and allied to his ruthless counterpart. Now another great figure has joined Tros and Caesar on the stage of the ancient world. Cleopatra-Queen of Egypt-is a formidable character ever ready to play the game of intrigue, betrayal and shifting loyalties to suit her own objectives. Blood will surely be spilt and once again Tros finds himself inexorably caught up in monumental events that threaten his life and those he loves.
