About the book
In 2013, Sgt Benjamin Ried served with the Australian Army in Afghanistan. In September 2014, a disillusioned Ried drove through Western Queensland toward another new job.
Then after becoming an unknowing participant in an experiment, Ried discovers he is over two hundred kilometers northeast of his last location in the year 2021 decades after an apocalyptic war. And now governed by the Roman Galactic Empire.
“This is all wrong.
“What is?” Abbey asked lamely.
“Everything,” Ried replied brusquely. “Wild nomads, modernday Romans with guns, swords, and motorbikes.” He gestured outside. “Deserted farms left to rot, roads and bridges in ruin...” He turned and slumped against the window frame. “It’s just wrong. The whole bloody lot of it.”
Can Ried draw on his past military skills and learn the diplomacy of Gladius and carbine in a terrifying Australia, dominated by the Roman Galactic Empire. A world which is rife with conspiracy, betrayal, and corruption.
Above all, will Ried survive to keep, himself and allies, safe from new and different enemies? All with one desire, his extermination.
