Author Description

It has been 210 years since Rome's greatest general, Scipio Africanus, triumphantly won what is arguably Rome's greatest victory at the Battle of Zama against the great Hannibal of Carthage. For over two centuries Rome has continued its empirical march, leveling all opposition and conquering new lands and people. The world has never seen a force like that of the Roman Empire. Roman life is at its zenith as it witnesses the continual rise of an empire. At her northern borders Rome is knocking on the door of Ancient Germania. It is a densely forested land inhabited by a highly fractured society. The people of Ancient Germany are a fiercely independent people yet they lack any cohesion or structure. From the outside looking in Rome expects a quick and simple victory. However, while Rome organizes her strategy to kick down the door she has overlooked the barbarians at the gate. Amongst those barbarians sits an elite class of Germanic warriors. They are a ruthless, efficient, and highly skilled elite force. They attack in the pitch of darkness and they are the first warriors to ever don camouflage. They fight in silence with spears, slings, javelins, and blunt battle-clubs. They are the warriors that legends and nightmares are made of and they are remembered by history as Germania's Ghost Warriors.This is the true story of history's greatest victory. Never before in history has an army overcome such amazing odds and done so with such definiteness. It will mark the beginning of the end of the mighty Roman Empire and give birth to one of history's greatest military leaders, Arminius. He will single handedly spark the rise of a nation by uniting a fractured and unorganized group of communities that will one day become Germany. As one ancient civilization stumbles the other finds firm footing for centuries to come.
