Resumen del Editor

An uncertain future in a new past.

During the test flight of a prototype faster-than-light craft, Lt. Commander Ky is flung into an ancient past that never existed. Rome has fallen, defeated by the mighty Carthaginian Empire, its survivors chased off the continent and onto what had been the remote province of Britannia.

Hounded by the Carthaginians bent on conquering the known world, Rome is on the verge of destruction. Stranded and alone, except for a tactical AI implanted in his head, Ky has lost everything and must find a way to live in a world different than anything he's ever known.

For Ky to survive, he needs a new home. For the Romans to survive, they need a miracle. But can a man from the future work with people so far in his past, or is this match doomed to failure?

Really fun alternate history well worth a credit!

I really enjoy a good alternate history book and this is well up there with the best. The entire series is fantastic. I hope there are more coming.

Lots of fun. Could not put it down.

It was a great book. I found I enjoy this plot. Could not put it down.

Great book

Very detailed, interesting storylines. Well thought out details and plots. A bit burdensome at times with the detail but that added to the feeling of the story by experiencing the burden that the character must have felt.

Great book.

This is a good book. The reader is amazing. Been listening to destiny crucible. This is a similar story but a nice change bringing in historical earth as a backdrop.

Worried it was going to be too big to succeed

Wonderful idea and so much fun. Lots of ways to go from here. Highly recommend

A Masterpiece

I seriously think this is probably one of the very best series on Audible. It's very similar to Destiny's Crucible but with a much better main character. I was hooked the entire time.

In my all time top 10

I have just over 6,000 hours of listening, this is one of the best.

Exciting

Very different take on a time travel adventure. No longer reliant on the past having happened the way it did before he is able to weave a very enjoyable story. Looking forward to the next installment.

Decent but Repetitive and Derivative

This book is 70% the main character explaining himself to various groups of skeptical Romans and 30% actual plot driven story. I normally appreciate longer books but this one could have been cut down shorter and been a better book for it.

For a more concise take on the same idea, I'd recommend A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, from which this author seemed heavily inspired.

For a longer series that is more story driven and overall more interesting, I'd recommend The Lost Regiment series by William Forstchen.

great book!

enjoyed the listen and will be getting the rest of the series. time travel, city building, historical action.....
