SWORD AND SCIMITAR is the gripping tale of the Great Siege of Malta from Simon Scarrow, bestselling author of the Eagles of the Empire series. A must read for fans of Conn Iggulden and Robert Harris.

1565, Malta: a vital outpost between the divided nations of Europe and the relentlessly expanding Ottoman Empire. Faced with ferocious attack by a vast Turkish fleet, the knights of the Order of St John fear annihilation. Amongst those called to assist is disgraced veteran Sir Thomas Barrett. Loyalty and instinct compel him to put the Order above all other concerns, yet his allegiance is divided. At Queen Elizabeth's command, he must search for a hidden scroll, guarded by the knights, that threatens her reign.

As Sir Thomas confronts the past that cost him his honour and a secret that has long lain buried, a vast enemy army arrives to lay siege to the island...

Simon Scarrow is the acclaimed author of multiple Sunday Times bestsellers, including Revenge of Rome, The Honour of Rome and The Gladiator.


He is also the author of many other acclaimed novels including Blackout and Dead of Night in the CI Schenke thriller series set in World War II Berlin, and a quartet of bestselling novels about Wellington and Napoleon. With T. J. Andrews he has co-written further novels set in the Roman Empire, including Warrior, focusing on the rebel chief Caratacus, and Arena, following the career of a gladiator hero.


Simon lives with his wife in Norfolk.

It's a great read' A satisfyingly bloodthirsty, bawdy romp...perfect for Bernard Cornwell addicts who will relish its historical detail and fast-paced action.
