The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments! 

In The White Wall, Eric Houghton unfurled the dramatic story of Hannibal's march against Rome. In this new novel, he tells of another historic struggle against Rome—the Spartacus-led slave rebellion in 73 B.C. and their sweeping march for freedom.

The hero is Cleon, a young slave who is rescued by the insurgent gladiators from his Roman taskmaster. But the great revolt occupies only part of Cleon's thoughts, as he and Niobe, a young slave girl, search for Cleon's mother, who is still being held captive by the Romans.
