A Tight Noose: Rome's Courier to Alexandria | Rome Noir. Fiction Audiobook #11
A historical thriller (audiobook) about Ancient Rome. Imperial courier Felix receives a one-way ticket to Alexandria—and realizes Cassius has sent him to his death.
"Cassius didn't send me with a letter. He was throwing me overboard from Roman life."
The copper noose tightens: the rotten ship Isis, a storm in the closed sea, paranoia on board, and a visit to the prefect of Egypt. Felix repairs the threshold before his death, saving the ship with his carpentry skills, but the main blow is Cassius's death from stale fish.
In this chapter (#11):
— "The Copper Noose": a diploma as a death sentence.
— "Salt and Rot": Ostia and the doomed grain ship.
— "Wind and Whispers": paranoia on the high seas.
— "Fighting the Void": Felix saves the Isis from a storm.
— "The Shadow of Pharos": Alexandria and the Prefect.
— "The Storm Has Passed": The Irony of Cassius's Fate.
