Welcome
Welcome to the homepage of a series of novels set during the Roman Empire, involving a revolt that shook the Roman army to its core. There will be three books:
- MESSIAH! Optio Lucius Petronius arrives in a peaceful Judaea; a calm that quickly turns into a storm. One that Rome did not see coming.
- TRIBUNE! Recovered and regrouped, Rome launches an offensive to finish the revolt. They are in for a nasty shock.
- CATACLYSM! The revolt comes to a bloody climax. The finish is existential for the Jews and Pyrrhic for the Romans. Lucius Petronius' life will never be quite the same.
- The History will build to offer a detailed background to the war.
- The author: who is the guy that writes this stuff.... and why?
- An occasional blog focussing upon aspects of the revolt.
The novels will not major on generals and their battles, though they will feature both. The focus is upon the lives of people forgotten in history, from a Roman optio to a farm girl from the Judaean hills and more. They all must cope with the shock of a sudden, violent rebellion where only one side will win. Their hope is to survive the bloodbath in Judaea, but should they do, the journey will have been be painful.
MESSIAH! and TRIBUNE are now available through Amazon. The options are an eBook from Kindle or a paperback. Click the button below and you could be immersed in the world of Provincia Judaea in a matter of seconds. Alternatively, go to the next page to learn more.
