Book excerpt: Epic historical fiction! Most named characters were real people. BOOK 1: In 367, Saxons, Scotti, Picts, Hiberni, and Attacotti attack Britannia in what historians call The Great Conspiracy. The Emperor sends Magnus Maximus with four legions in a war that decides the fate of the Roman Empire. BOOK 2: Niall of the Nine Hostages kidnaps Elen of the Armies from Wales. Max must invade Ireland to rescue her -- and ends up marrying her. A huge Irish army fights Max at Cavehill in the bloodiest battle in Ireland's history. The Emperor ships Huns to Pictland to attack Max. Only by becoming the first king of Britain can Max survive the onslaught. BOOK 3: Roman, Persian, and Hun empires are assembling the largest invasion fleet in human history. The bloody Battle of Britain will determine the survival of western civilization. Max's family moves into the Kongo, invades Russia, rescues St. Patrick of Ireland, and chases Niall of the Nine Hostages to the Americas, where they find a brave new world.EXCERPTS: An impact turned his helmet. Effectively blind and totally terrified, Max punched someone punching him back. His helmet was too dented, so Max pulled it off and saw his swords, just out of reach. The savage Saxon grinned at the ruined Roman as the battle intensified around them. Max felt Sara the Seer's probing mind like a doctor digging through flesh for an arrowhead. Maxima lurked nearby, taking mental notes and reserving judgment. Everything else disappeared as he glimpsed the first images of his unforgettable future.In the dark rainy forest, Max cut into a hard head who howled. Other Picts rushed him. Limp-running away, Max mumbled in rage. He didn't have anything for the pain except his mind-numbing misery.A flock of arrows turned their cavalry charge into a mess of flesh as Saxons hurried to kill them before they recovered. Cocidius saw himself come up in a roll next to the wharf and thrust his sword into an ugly man who had not bathed in years. Sara the Seer had dried out, as if someone sucked the life essence from her, then continued sucking. Skin clung to fragile bones, all meat melted. It was the grossest thing Max had ever seen.The enemy had to step on their dead and dying comrades to reach the Romans around the rim. Soldiers flung themselves at their down-slope rivals, often feet first, using their momentum to send Saxons soaring. Three bounced a few times before hitting rock bottom. Others simply got crushed. "Hit me." Maxima slapped his face hard. "Oh, you meant figuratively." She did not apologize. "You're a dangerous girl, Maxima." "Don't you ever forget it." Ballistae threw glass jars of oil into the mass of men muscling through the eastern gate. Hastily erected barriers corralled hundreds of pillagers. Barbarians on fire screamed for help, like hairy candles on a ship in a storm. One day, it seemed, the dark exotic beauty sprouted outstanding breasts and curves that flowed in all the right directions. She was about to pop her virginity like a cork, and radiated sexuality like old men radiate decay.He thought a corpse stopped his slide, until it opened its blue eyes and roared at Max. The legate desperately tried killing the corpse, but couldn't get his long swords in because they were too close. He finally grabbed an arrow, stuck in the bastard's breast, and used his weight to drive it deeper."Do I know you?" Max asked. He hated confusion. The only colorful options he liked were white and black. Greys pissed him off. A monster of a man had run down the hill too fast and must have slide 20 paces in the mud before smacking the arrow-riddled corpse. Max jumped with his sword, though his left leg didn't work right. The maniac howled in rage.
