"Along the Mediterranean coast, the Roman empire's richest citizens are relaxing in their villas, enjoying the last days of summer. But the gorgeous weather belies impending doom, and only one man is worried. The young engineer Marcus Attilius has taken charge of the Aqua Augusta, the enormous aqueduct that brings fresh water to the people around the Bay of Naples. There is a crisis on Augusta's main line - somewhere north of Pompeii, on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. Attilius must repair the aqueduct before the reservoir runs dry. His plan is to organize an expedition in Pompeii, then head out to the place where he believes the fault lies. But Pompeii proves to be a corrupt and violent town, and Attilius soon discovers that there are powerful forces at work - natural and otherwise - threatening to destroy them."
"Pompéi, 79 apr. J.-C. Attilius, un jeune ingénieur romain chargé de superviser le réseau d'eau de la région, détecte une faille d'origine inconnue sur l'aqueduc Aqua Augusta. Son travail n'est pas sa seule préoccupation, car il s'interroge sur la disparition de son prédécesseur, sur les agissements d'un esclave affranchi et tombe amoureux de la fille de ce dernier."
"Attilius, decent, practical, and incorruptible promises Pliny, the famous scholar who commands the Navy based in the Bay of Naples, that he can repair the aqueduct before the water supply for a quarter of a million people, runs dry. When Attilius arrives to the water source, somewhere north of Pompeii, on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, he discovers there are powerful forces at work, both natural and man-made, threatening to destroy him. The story takes place in the Italy of 67 AD."
