The epic battle to liberate Spain from Roman rule is a masterclass of ancient guerilla warfare, recounted by the author of Ancient Rome on 5 Denarii a Day. In the year 82 BC, after a brutal civil war, the dictator Sulla took power in Rome. But among those who refused to accept his rule was the young army officer Quintus Sertorius. Sertorius fled, first to Africa and then to Spain, where he made common cause with the native people who had been savagely oppressed by a succession of corrupt Roman governors. Discovering a genius for guerilla warfare—and claiming to receive divine guidance from Artemis—Sertorius came close to driving the Romans out of Spain altogether. Rome responded by sending reinforcements under the control of Gen. Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, who would go on to become Pompey the Great. The epic struggle between these two commanders, known as the Sertorian War, is a masterclass of ancient strategy and tactical maneuver. Massively outnumbered, Sertorius remained undefeated on the battlefield, but was eventually assassinated by jealous subordinates, none of whom proved a match for Pompey. The tale of Sertorius is both the story of a people struggling to liberate themselves from oppressive rule, and the story of a man who started as an idealist and ended almost as savage and despotic as his enemies. But above all, it is the story of a duel between two great generals, fought between two different styles of army in the valleys of the Spanish interior.

Rome, 105 B.C. One of the only survivors of Rome's most crushing military defeat, Quintus Sertorius is thrust back into the fray against the barbarians who caused it. The Roman army is now under the leadership of the brilliant and charismatic Gaius Marius, who has vowed to end the northern menace once and for all. Battling night terrors and survivor's guilt, Sertorius is asked by the General to undertake his most daring feat yet: infiltrating the enemy camp. Attempting to gain intelligence about these mysterious northern tribes, Sertorius grows his beard and dresses like a Gaul, becoming like them in every way. But the more he discovers about these barbaric tribes, the more he realizes he must fight to destroy them. Will Sertorius make it back to Marius with the intelligence he's discovered, or will another massacre mark the end of the Roman empire? The Noise of War is the second book in the captivating Sertorius Scrolls historical fiction series. It takes the reader through the thick forests of Gaul, into the sprawling maritime city of Massilia, from the Roman frontlines to behind enemy lines.

"Gripping and Graphic... Davis's narrative strengths lie in portraying the horrifying realities of war and in vivifying the ancient setting..." --(Publisher's Weekly) "Is it better to be a bad man and accomplish great things, or be a great man and accomplish nothing?" Quintus Sertorius has spent the first 20 years of his life training horses on his family farm, but this must end when his father dies and his village's political connections to Rome are severed. For the sake of his family, Quintus must leave his village for the Eternal City. If he succeeds, his people will be fed. If he fails, his people will starve. He begins his political career under the most influential men in Rome, but soon discovers that those in the Senate are less inclined to help him than he had hoped. His journey takes him from the corrupt and treacherous Forum to the deadly forests of Gaul, making powerful friends and enemies along the way. But it will take more than allies to succeed. He will have to decide what compromises he is willing to make, and what risks he is willing to take, if he is to secure a future for himself and his people.
