Over two thousand years ago, in a vanished world in which gallant death and honor still holds sway, Gaius Julius Caesar is blitzing through Briton’s fierce, blue-painted warlords, exacting a heavy price in exchange for peace. News from Rome and word of rebellion in war-ravaged Gaul cut short Caesar’s invasion of Briton, leaving him little choice but to return to the mainland. Leaving for Gaul, Caesar entrusts a depleted legion to Cussius Caesar, and senior centurion, Marcus Rulus. With orders to further explore Briton and return to Gaul with the tribute, Marcus and Cussius find themselves in a remarkable quest to carve a future out of the land. A Roman Peace in Briton follows the lives of those left behind whose fates become bound to the people of the fabled, fog-bound lands of ancient Briton. Filled with dramatic scenes and abounding in fictional and historical personalities, A Roman Peace in Briton hooks with passionate storytelling and engulfs the reader in events of historical legend.
About the Author
Joe studied history and criminal justice at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia, where he also worked as a police officer until leaving to study at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. Since matriculating from law school Joe has been an associate for a large creditor's rights firm, worked in private practice as a solo-practitioner and sat the bench as a magistrate at the Court of Common Pleas. His passion for books, history, writing, and in particular, historical fiction, led him to writing book and literature reviews at joeunleashed.com. These days you will find Joe polishing the sequel to "A Roman Peace in Briton: Blood on the Stone" and practicing law on a case-by-case basis as necessity and inspiration see fit.
