Here’s the set-up:

Historical fiction, written by a 28 year U.S. Army veteran, follows Rome’s Legio XVII from its creation to final battle and puts you in the minds of Praetor Manius Tullus and his Centurions as they plan and fight their way across Northern Italy and Austria. Praetor Tullus, a survivor of Cannae, recruits, trains and leads Legio XVII on a 30-month independent expedition to face battle-hardened Gallic and Germanic tribes. Meanwhile, in southern Italy, 23 Roman Legions battle Hannibal in a desperate struggle for the survival of Rome.

Reviews

“A sweeping, engaging work of historical fiction that will please any Roman history fan and especially those who enjoy an authentic voice to their military maneuverings. It is as close to being in a battle as you possible can be without actually being there. I felt like I was transported back in time and witnessing history unfolding firsthand.  A book that can entertain as it educates is very rare indeed. Highly recommend.”  Mark Williams

“Well-researched and genuinely interesting. A great story. I loved how I felt like I learned something that I never knew before, plus lots of battles and fighting. The descriptions were amazing – you can feel the heat on your skin, the dust in your eyes, the smell of blood and the stench of death around you. …history really came alive in these pages….it was really very good and I’m going to recommend it to my father who is a Roman history fanatic!” Stacy Decker
