In 262 A. D. the Roman empire
was faltering. One prop on the tottering
empire was Aulus Perrenius, Imperial Agent.
Aulus could be characterized as a very early James Bond working for the
Empire and not necessarily for the specific emperor. Aulus is introduced to Calvus, who unknown to
him initially was also an agent working for a different time. Together the two must protect Aulus's empire
and time as well as saving Calvus's future time.
Drake always does a superb job with historically accurate
settings and characters. His story
telling could be done around a campfire or a nuclear pile. The man has game! His stories always provide some philosophic
head scratching as well as plenty of action and character insights.
I really enjoy his work in general and this book
specifically.
I recommend both this book.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
