Fortress of steel

Rome, 59 CE. When the son of his commanding officer is taken prisoner, young centurion Marcus Corvo is tasked with recruiting men from the underbelly of the Empire to rescue him. Corvo sets about scouring the gladiatorial arenas, prisons and slave markets for men desperate and tough enough to join him on a possible suicide mission. The quest will take them to the eastern fringes of the Empire where the prisoner is being held in Armenia. Can Corvo keep his wilful legion of men in line? Or will the journey prove too perilous for centurion and soldiers alike?
