The Parthian Chronicles

The story of Pacorus, a prince of the Parthian Empire who is captured by the Romans and sent to Italy to live out the rest of his days as a slave. But fate intervenes and he is freed by a gang of runaway gladiators led by a man named Spartacus. This is the epic tale of the Spartacus slave revolt, as told by the man who fought by his side.

‘Parthian Dawn’ is the second volume of the adventures of Pacorus the Parthian and his companions – the fierce and proud Gallia, the ex-Roman centurion Domitus, the scout Byrd and the sorceress Dobbai – as they battle for their lives against the backdrop of the clash between the ancient world's two greatest empires. 'Parthian Dawn' follows on from 'The Parthian'.

‘Parthian Vengeance’ is the third instalment in the Parthian Chronicles, the adventures of King Pacorus of Dura, and follows on from ‘Parthian Dawn’.

‘Carrhae’ is the fourth and final instalment in the Parthian Chronicles, the adventures of King Pacorus of Dura, and follows on from ‘Parthian Vengeance’.

This, the fifth volume in the ‘Parthian Chronicles’ series, is set in the time between ‘Parthian Dawn’ and ‘Parthian Vengeance’. It tells the story of Pacorus and a band of companions who embark on a mission to rescue one who was left behind in Italy after the Spartacus slave revolt. The quest will lead them to the city of Ephesus where gladiatorial games are being held.

Pacorus had believed the defeat of Crassus would signal the end of Roman interest in Parthia and for many years his kingdom knew peace and prosperity. But the vindictiveness of Queen Cleopatra of Egypt draws him and the Parthians into a new war, one in which they would be fighting for their very existence when her husband Mark Antony invades the empire at the head of over one hundred thousand men.

Book seven in the Parthian Chronicles series sees Pacers, his family and friends fighting for their lives on the eastern edge of the empire as a new power rises across the River Indus to challenge the Parthian Empire.

What price glory, Spartacus? Mark Antony has returned to Parthia to wage war against the king of kings. But Parthia has a new hero, a man born of slaves who carries an infamous name and who burns with rage against the world. As Mark Antony forges an unholy alliance with the Parthian King of Media, will you save the empire and lose your family? Or will you obey the rules of the gods?

‘Amazon’ is the continuing story of Pacorus of Dura and his battles against the external and internal foes of the Parthian Empire. It is the ninth volume in the Parthian Chronicles and follows on from ‘The Cursed Kingdom’.

You know three things, Pacorus: Your ‘army’ totals only one hundred men and one hundred women. No help is coming. The gods are unreliable allies. Can you save the new King of Media, prevent Spartacus from unleashing death and destruction on Armenia, and preserve the peace between Parthia and Rome?

You want peace and a happy retirement, Pacorus? The only way to ensure both is to eradicate your enemies before they have a chance to mobilise. So, are you a warlord or farmer?

Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten. No matter where you are, I will find you. ‘Wraiths’ is the twelfth volume in the Parthian Chronicles series and follows on from ‘Lord of War’.

War is a jealous lover who is reluctant to release me from her embrace. Pacorus fights for the very survival of the Parthian Empire. ‘Sarmatian’ is the thirteenth volume in the Parthian Chronicles series and follows on from ‘Lord of War’.

The Romans took my freedom, albeit briefly. But Parthia took my youth, my best years, my friends and my family. And now it wants me to surrender the things that made all the sacrifices if not worthwhile, then at least bearable.

War has been a successful Duran export for many years. But now it is at the gates of my city and strangling my kingdom.

The gods have given you the chance of one last adventure, Pacorus. Grasp it with both hands and ride to war again, this time against the most dangerous enemy the Parthian Empire has ever faced.
