Set in AD 235, this historical novel narrates a turbulent period in Rome, marked by murders, coups, and civil wars. After the assassination of Emperor Alexander and his mother, military hero Maximinus Thrax emerges as the new Caesar, a man of steel and violence willing to fight for Rome. However, his rise from the barracks generates distrust in the Senate and fear in the streets of the city. In the north, the war against the barbarians consumes resources while Maximinus faces rebellions and personal tragedies, driving him to the brink of madness. 'Iron and Rust' immerses the reader in a world of intrigue, passion, and war, where power is conquered at any price.
Harry Sidebottom is a British author and historian, best known for his two series of historical novels the Warrior of Rome, and Throne of the Caesars. He is Quondam Fellow and Tutor in Ancient History at St. Benet's Hall, Oxford, and lecturer at Lincoln College.
