PART ROMAN, PART GAUL AND CONSCRIPTED, MARCELLUS STRABO IS AN UNWILLING LEGIONNAIRE CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO WORLDS Marcellus Strabo is rudely awakened from a drunken stupor to find himself conscripted in the training camp of the XI Claudia Legion. The legion is one of six under the command of Julius Caesar bound for Celtic Gaul. Until now, Strabo has known only privilege and a preference to spend his time in brothels and on the back of a fast horse. Now he's faced with the harsh training of a legionnaire made worse by the tattoos he wears reflecting his mother's Celtic heritage. Repeated attempts on his life for reasons he doesn't know prove equally perilous as the risks he soon faces on the battlefield. Caught between two worlds and feeling a part of neither, Strabo is faced with conflicts he never anticipated including the costs of falling in love with Raven, a member of his mother's tribe. Her resistance to the growing Roman influence in Gaul coupled with his growing reputation as a fighter and leader leaves Strabo wondering if he is more Roman or Gaul. He hopes Fortuna will one day answer the question. Until the goddess does, he will remain caught between two worlds.
Excerpt
Most of the horses are gone, either dead or too wounded to be of any use. What are your orders?
Strabo didn't have to think and answered quickly. We'll follow the legionnaires and fight on foot.Also from
