The Other Rome #2
Caesar and Sertorius
"This is the second volume in the series about Rome in a different timeline, where history took a different direction. After Drusus gains citizenship for the Italian Allies and Sulla achieves radical constitutional reforms, internal peace combines with brilliant military and political leadership to expand the Republic's power enormously.
Caius Julius Caesar and Quintus Sertorius, both outstanding men, find the rules of politics have changed. How can they make names for themselves in this new context, where personal ambition must wear the mask of patriotic duty?
One will ride events cleverly and be hailed as the greatest man in his generation; the other will fall foul of his lust for fame, and his name will become a by-word for treachery.

About the author
Tito Kithes Athano
5 books19 followersReal Name is Bob Springett
Born in 1952
Educated in NSW State public schools and Sydney University, and ended up a Chartered Engineer (Civil and Structural).
Subsequently completed a Bachelor of Theology at Morling College (Australian College of Theology).
Married in 1973 and still going two daughters and one grandchild later.
Christian but tending towards eclectic in personal persuasion.
Also the author of 'Pope Barnabas', which should be out soon. This book presents the life of a Sydney man with a passion for excellence in pastoral care within the church. He rises to become Pope. But how does he react when personally confronted with a man who was abused as a child and saw his brother murdered in a cover-up? It also examines other current controversial questions on the way through.
A sci-fi trilogy is also in the pipeline. These are hard sci-fi novel in format, but the technology is not the centrepiece. It's main thread reflects upon the theme of an entire species 'finding its roots'. What they find overturns everything they ever believed. It examines various social structures and cultures on the way through.
Just being tidied up now is 'Bones', a book about a series of ambiguous archaeological finds and how every pressure group in the world tries to bend the data to suit their own agenda. Think 'Dan Brown', but with some credibility.
By-the-way, anyone interested in Ancient Rome and willing to speculate on what might have been, my 'Other Rome' series is now available as a free download through the relevant Goodreads pages.
