Summary

"I saw nothing of what I wrote..." Can a betrayal change the world? 


Follow Marcus Marcius, Mark, a tough centurion of the X Legion, through a journey full of dangers, adventures, and impossible passions, towards the very heart of the Gnostic mysteries and the heart of primitive Christianity. Live with him, and with the rest of the characters of "Mark, The cross of the sword", the terrible and enigmatic events that precipitated the writing of the most decisive Gospel for Christians and the Roman church. 


Walk the desert roads of Galilee; delve into the forbidden depths of the Q'mrán cave; storm the imposing walls of Jerusalem; discover the legendary library of Alexandria; trace, with the keel of a gauloi, the secret paths of the ancient Mare Nostrum; escape from the dark shadow of the druids on the island of Mona; be the guardian of the word of Jesus the "Nazorene" and Paul of Tarsus and the only one who knows the secret of an immense treasure that does not exist but that everyone is looking for; ...and end up in Rome. Always Rome. Where the struggle for power and knives in the dark will draw the last lines of the final labyrinth.

As one of the most popular Sherlock Holmes stories, "Silver Blaze" focuses on the disappearance of the famous winning race horse Silver Blaze on the eve of an important race and on the apparent murder of its trainer. The tale is distinguished by its atmospheric Dartmoor setting and late-Victorian sporting milieu. The plotting hinges on the "curious incident of the dog in the night-time"
