Gladiator
Lars was taken by the Romans. Roman soldiers roamed the lands of Germania and saw the boy who was unusually tall. They took him back to Rome to be put on display, but he was assigned to the arena to fight and please the crowds. Lars was not a fighter but was quick and cleaver. He used his skills to avoid a quick death and soon became a favorite of the throng that attended the games. Lars longed for his home and vowed to escape his captivity and the senseless violence he was immersed in. The few friends he made died at his side in mock battle for the pleasure of the gambling rich. Lars fell in love with the slave girl from Germania and had an even greater need to run. But gladiators cannot run and the empire vowed to hunt down any who did. Author Steve Stelle, known for his fast-paced historical fiction, paints a canvas of Rome in 100 AD that places the reader in the Colosseum at the time when the games were Rome's most popular passion. Can Lars outrun the elite Centurions who vow to recapture him?
