ALIEN FEROCITY vs ROMAN COURAGE AS THE EMPIRE DIES


Rome, 262 A.D. It has been the capital of the greatest civilization on Earth. Now both city and civilization are dying. Germans flood across the borders from Britain to the Bosporus, leaving a trail of rape, carnage, and ashes. In the cities, mobs riot; in the countryside, cults seek salvation in dark rituals. Imperial unity has shattered into a mosaic of separatists and usurpers, squabbling among themselves as greater enemies gather to swallow them all.


One man stands between humanity and the Long Night, matching savage determination against a hopeless future. He is Aulus Prennius, an Imperial secret agent as tough and ruthless as the age in which he lives. Until now, though, his enemies have all been human...


"David Drake is one of the most gifted users of historical and military raw materials at work today."
— Chicago Sun-Times

Review

“A convincingly detailed sense of ancient history...the sense of historical detail is the book's greatest strength.” ― Fantasy Review on Birds of Prey “His world, his journey and his adventures are described with the avidity and single-mindedness of a history buff...Drake's feeling for the era and his dramatic flair do breathe life into the story.” ― Publishers Weekly “Blood and thunder need not be thud and blunder if done with intelligence and flair, and David Drake has proven that he can do it that way.” ― Asimov’s SF Magazine “What makes it special are vivid characters and the sense that they're moving through a real world very different from our own.” ― Locus
