Reluctant Siege

A battlefield covered with dead Legionaries

An Empire encroaching on the Republic

A Senate in turmoil

Welcome to 265 B.C.

Alerio Sisera will need all of his skills as a heavy infantryman, a scout and a weapon’s instructor to survive. Standing with two gladii in a river of blood, the Legionary will battle for his life in the Reluctant Siege.

Reluctant Siege is Book #4 in the Clay Warrior Stories series

The Clay Warrior Stories are deeply researched historical fiction combined with high adventure. There are no dragons, wizards, or magic spells. Just blades and men skilled in the art of war, living in a time when empires clashed. An era when death rode on the edge of sharp steel and only the lucky or the good walked away from a fight.

I write military adventure both future and ancient
