Sulla's Fist - Vincent B. Davis II

Rome, 90 BC. Quintus Sertorius is tired. Weary after eight years of warfare in Greece, the decorated hero longs to reunite with his family and repair their frayed bond. But no sooner has he returned than Rome is thrust into war again. This time, the attackers are their closest allies, the Italian tribes surrounding them. To make matters worse, Sertorius learns his son has joined the legion under the command of a scheming rival looking to exert leverage. Sertorius confronts spies and traitors within his own ranks who are loyal to the Italian cause. As he and his companions raise a new army to protect Rome, they endure supply line sabatoge, widespread poisonings, and betrayal on all sides. As Italy collapses into warfare, will Sertorius wrestle victory from the jaws of devastating defeat?
