It’s a formula that works well in so Brown’s capable hands… Cassius’s next assignment can’t come too soon! - Lancashire Evening PostIf you love Scarrow, adore Iggulden and of course admire Scott, then make sure you add Brown to your list. Great stuff. - Falcata TimesPraise for Agent of Rome: The Siege:A masterful debut from a new author completely at home in this era, - Manda ScottOnce the action kicks off you won’t be able to put it down. - Anthony Riches, author of the Empire seriesPerfect pace, vivid combat sequences and superb characterisation. - Lancashire Evening PostBrown promises to be one of the most exciting sword-wielding writers in an ever-popular arena. - The Oxford TimesA thrilling and fascinating coming-of-age adventure. - Book GazetteNick Brown has the craft of storytelling at his fingertips … The Siege is a fast-paced and satisfying read - Russell Whitfield, author of GladiatrixAbout The Author
