In this new title, Bryn, who was previously enslaved in Rome where he became a Christian, is now 15 and living in his British homeland. A friend arrives from Gaul with news that the hated persecutor of Christians, Emperor Nero, is dead. Felix persuades Bryn to return with him to Rome, where there is turmoil and Christians are still under threat.

Many threats and adventures lie in wait as Bryn and Felix head back to Rome as another emperor is about to take power.

Empires at War, 1911-1923 offers a new perspective on the history of the Great War. It expands the story of the war both in time and space to include the violent conflicts that preceded and followed the First World War, from the 1911 Italian invasion of Libya to the massive violence that followed the collapse of the Ottoman, Russian, and Austrian empires until 1923. It also presents the war as a global war of empires rather than a a European war between nation-states. This volume tells the story of the millions of imperial subjects called upon to defend their imperial governments' interest, the theatres of war that lay far beyond Europe, and the wartime roles and experiences of innumerable peoples from outside the European continent. Empires at War covers the broad, global mobilizations that saw African solders and Chinese labourers in the trenches of the Western Front, Indian troops in Jerusalem, and the Japanese military occupying Chinese territory. Finally, the volume shows how the war set the stage for the collapse not only of specific empires, but of the imperial world order writ large.

Empire at War is a lavish book detailing famous battles in Warhammer. Each battle is examined, discussed and dissected: it's historical context, the main players, opposing tactics with illustrative maps, armies and equipment, important events and how the battles panned out. The writer concludes with lessons to be learned, digresses the aftermath of the battle and pontificates on what may have happened had the battle gone the other way. Accompanying the words is loads of fabulous art and battle maps.

Examines the "home front" war effort from an overall imperial perspective, assessing the contribution of individual imperial territories.

The French empire at war draws on original research in France and Britain to investigate the history of the divided French empire - the Vichy and the Free French empires - during the Second World War. What emerges is a fascinating story. While it is clear that both the Vichy and Free French colonial authorities were only rarely masters of their own destiny during the war, preservation of limited imperial control served them both in different ways. The Vichy government exploited the empire in an effort to withstand German-Italian pressure for concessions in metropolitan France and it was key to its claim to be more than the mouthpiece of a defeated nation. For Free France too, the empire acquired a political and symbolic importance which far outweighed its material significance to the Gaullist war effort. As the war progressed, the Vichy empire lost ground to that of the Free French, something which has often been attributed to the attraction of the Gaullist mystique and the spirit of resistance in the colonies. In this radical new interpretation, Thomas argues that it was neither of these. The course of the war itself, and the initiatives of the major combatant powers, played the greatest part in the rise of the Gaullist empire and the demise of Vichy colonial control.
