  As Bloody Joe Mannion transports the notorious prisoner Buzzard Lee through the rugged mountains of the New Mexico Territory, a chance encounter with a young woman shrouded in mystery thrusts him into a whirlwind of danger and intrigue.

  But as the noose tightens around Mannion's bloody neck and bullets draw nearer, he stumbles upon a devastating secret that could spell doom not only for himself, but also for the woman and those she cares for. 
   
   
   
  Battle Mountain is a heart-pounding saga of western intrigue, danger, and discovery that will leave you on the edge of your seat until the very last moment.

  Cast to the edge of the Empire, the Sarmatian army must fight in defence of Rome in the second of a new trilogy set in the second century AD, from the author of Smile of the Wolf. 
   
  In the hard, unforgiving land at the northernmost point of the Roman Empire lies a great wall. Once, the edge had been but a thing of thoughts and dreams, but one day the great Emperor from across the water had grown tired of such borders. So, a wall was raised from the earth at his command. From afar, it looked invincible. 
   
  Yet every wall has its weaknesses – if one looks close enough. 
   
  In its shadow gather five thousand fearsome soldiers. Men bred to fight and kill. The Sarmatians have suffered capture and defeat, but under a new command they are prepared to fight again. 
   
  For of the other side of the wall there are rumours. Of men closer to giants, of warriors who fight without fear or restraint. And the Sarmatians are called to defend against them. To stand and fight. To die for Rome. 
   
  Praise for Tim Leach's Sarmatian Trilogy: 
   
  'The characters feel rounded and real, and the Sarmatians' attempts to keep their world alive and evade the tyrannous reach of Rome are heartbreaking' The Times on A Winter War
