Author Description

Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if the Roman Empire never fell, and in fact, went on to great successes, taking control the entire globe and allowing technology and culture to flourish? My novel, Forever Rome, submitted for your consideration, does exactly that.Set in a futuristic earth, it follows timeless themes of love, betrayal, lust for power, and the tragedy of loss, all wrapped up in a Sci-Fi epic. In it, The Roman Empire never fell, instead growing until it spanned the globe. But things have changed since Ancient times. The Caesars, once the mighty Emperors of Rome, are nothing more than figureheads, with the Senate gradually gaining power until it became the dominant form of governance. Roman culture has evolved, with Gladiator games more like modern sporting events, and most nations prospering under Roman rule. That is, until they try to colonize Mars. The Romans unearth an ancient, destructive power that has endured over the millennia, and Rome's current Caesar, Marcus, seeks to take it for himself to restore the throne to its former glory. Only a young man named Trajan can rise up to defeat Marcus and keep from returning Rome to the dark ages.
