Magnus Maximus

Autor Brent Reilly
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Exhaustively researched epic historical fiction at its finest! Magnus Maximus, which is Latin for Maximum Great, was a real Roman general who became Rome's only third co-emperor - three accepted emperors at the same time. Most named characters are real and the 30 books in the Magnus Maximus Saga will take you around the world in the 4th century, today. This fun thriller starts in the year 367 with real events: Saxons, Scotti, Picts, Hiberni, and Attacotti attack Britannia to drive out Romans, killing 100,000 Britons in what historians call The Great Conspiracy. Roman Emperor Valentinian sends Magnus Maximus with four legions in a war that decides the fate of the Roman Empire -- and western civilization. Surrounded by savages, Max must protect 4 million Britons or die trying. The Saga branches off into alternative history as Brits discover the Americas and learn to colonize it without letting disease wipe out 90% of the native population. They confront every 4th century kingdom in the Americas: Aztecs (the Mexica), Maya, Mixteca, Muisca, Moche, Totonaca, Tarascan, Huaxteca, Zapoteca, Zacateca, Caribbean, Orinoco, Wari, and Chichimeca, plus tribes of the five great North American language families (Algonquin, Iroquois, Caddo, Muskogee, and Sioux), then all other ancient empires worldwide (Persia, India, China, Korea, Japan). I've tried to put the most story in the fewest words, with an emphasis on dramatic action over superfluous dialogue, while highlighting what made each ancient kingdom unique. The novels average 70,000 words. It's a wild trip through history that will help you better appreciate today. Enjoy antiquity now!
