Carrhae (Parthian Chronicles Book 4) Kindle Edition

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

The great Parthian Civil War is over, leaving behind an empire exhausted by years of bloodshed. But no sooner have hostilities ended than Armenia, the client state of Rome, declares war on the empire and unleashes its army against Parthia.

Even Dura’s mighty army cannot stave off a series of defeats as the enemies of Parthia circle the empire like hungry wolves. And Pacorus knows that Marcus Licinius Crassus is also marching east to extend Rome’s rule from the Euphrates to the Indus and enslave the whole of Parthia.

The scene is set for a final showdown on the battlefield of Carrhae, a clash that will decide the destinies of two empires and two men.

A map of the Parthian Empire at the time of Pacorus (the 1st Century BC) can be found on the maps page of my website.

5.0 out of 5 stars An unputdownable series !

Peter Darman's Parthian Series consists of 4 of the most enjoyable tales I have read in a long time. The characters are so entertaining and convincing I often found myself forgetting I was reading fiction not fact, so much so there were tears in my eyes at times and found myself laughing out loud at others. I cannot recommend this series highly enough. Thank you Peter Darman !

Great read. Hard to put down. Having done a little research on the Romans this is a true to life story. Just for once the ending was not the usual it kept you interested right to the end. I read it { The whole book } twice.

Auch der vierte Teil der Serie hat mir gut gefallen. Wieder ein bisschen viel viel Wiederholungen, ein bisschen viel Beschreibung des Aussehens der Personen. Ein wenig gewundert habe ich mich, dass die Schlacht bei Carrhae - historisch doch so bedeutend insbesondere für Rom - so wenig Platz einmimmt in dem Buch. Aber insgesamt lesenswert. Ich werde mir den fünften Teil auch bestellen

5.0 out of 5 stars The last chapter.
Reviewed in France on 5 June 2017
Verified Purchase
The narration of the glorious reign of Pacorus, the great Parthian "strategos" and king of Dura, remains gripping, albeit the thoroughly uninteresting secondary intrigue of the coming of age of Spartacus II. The political and military clashes between Parthia and Armenia are masterfully rendered, the peek at the intimate life of the Parthian rulers and their high-ranking officers, who have become old friends of ours on this fourth episode by now, is as delightful as ever, and the rendering of the ultimate confrontation with Crassus is as masterful as is delicate the moving homage to our ageing hero done by another military and administrative genius: Agrippa. And the final ascension of Pacorus into the eternal memories of men, along the likes of Spartacus, Caesar and other Augustus is a little gem in its own right. Praise to Peter Darman for offering us the dazzling saga of a hero from Parthia, the other great civilization of our beloved near antiquity.
Jean Fourcade.
