Buy the book from:

Gaul and Italy, winter 53–52 BCE. While Caesar recruits at Aquileia and watches the Republic deteriorate, a chain of local incidents signals that Gallic resistance is becoming coordinated. Trouble with supply lines at Cenabum, a former prefect’s private vendetta near Bovillae and political mobilisation at Gergovia each appear peripheral to the main campaign.

Taken together, the three linked stories show the conditions from which Vercingetorix’s revolt will emerge. Quartermasters, veterans and officers encounter warnings that cannot yet be fully understood, while violence against Roman interests gathers momentum. The collection bridges the punitive campaigns of the sixth novel and the full-scale uprising that follows.
