After saving the emperor''s life in Rome, Marcus and his comrades have been sent across the sea to the wealthy, corrupt Greek metropolis of Aegyptus, Alexandria.
An unknown enemy has slaughtered the garrison of the Empire''s last outpost before its border with the mysterious kingdom of Kush. Caravans can no longer reach the crucial Red Sea port of Berenike, from which the riches of the East flow towards Rome.
The Emperor''s most trusted and most devious adviser has ordered Marcus''s commander Scaurus and his trusted officers to the south. With orders that are tantamount to a suicide mission, and with only one slim hope of success.
Can a small force of highly trained legionaries restore the Empire''s power in this remote desert no-man''s-land, when faced by the fanatical army of Kush''s iron-fisted ruler?

Industry Reviews

PRAISE FOR ANTHONY RICHES - -

River of Gold is the eleventh novel in Anthony Riches' best-selling Empire series and its considerable strengths are all the more impressive because of it . . . a gripping narrative full of breath-taking action, unforgettable characters, and dazzling twists and turns. - Peter Tonkin, Aspects of History

A masterclass in military historical fiction - Sunday Express on Retribution

A master of the genre - The Times

Fast-paced and gripping "read-through-the-night" fiction with marvellous characters and occasional moments of dark humour. Some authors are better historians than they are storytellers. Anthony Riches is brilliant at both. - Conn Iggulden

A damn fine read . . . fast-paced, action-packed - Ben Kane

Stands head and shoulders above a crowded field . . . real, life characters act out their battles on the northern borders with an accuracy of detail and depth of raw emotion is a rare emotion. - Manda Scott
