Kuhn, Michael Sextus Valerius. Band 2: Ans Ende der Welt

Historical novel. AD 15: The wounds of the Varus Battle have healed and the deployment on the Rhine is complete. The young Caesar Germanicus wants to force a decision in the war against the Germanic tribes under Arminius. The legions and auxiliaries stand ready on the Rhine to wipe out the ignominy of defeat and to fulfil the great Drusus' dream of a Roman Germania as far as the Elbe.

Sextus Valerius, who has meanwhile risen to the rank of high centurion, stands faithfully by the ambitious heir to the throne from the very beginning of the fighting. But his enemies continue to pursue their criminal aims. Like a shadow, the curse of Varusgold lies over the drama in the forests and swamps of Germania. The gripping story about love, friendships and military catastrophes is heading towards its dramatic climax. Will the love between Sextus and Hildiko withstand the fateful events and trials? Will Sextus be crushed between intrigue, war and a sense of duty? Authentic, exciting and more plausible than Tacitus. A neatly researched and stirring continuation of the historical course set at the beginning of our era.
