One of history's greatest mysteries—the Ninth Imperial Legion guarding Rome's northernmost frontier in Britannia disappeared around the year 122 AD. This is their story.
Badly outnumbered, facing certain destruction, and cut off from supply, the Imperial Roman Ninth Legion Hispana is in a desperate position. Surrounded by the hostile Celtic army, Senior Centurion Lucious Grackus Lisidus Karus must lead his men to safety after unexpectedly finding himself thrust into command of the legion.
Then, the unthinkable happens.
Karus and the Ninth are transported to a strange place, far away from the Britannia they knew. The legion's deliverance from danger at first appears to be a blessing from the gods, but slowly, they begin to uncover the secrets of this new land, a world that is slowly being overrun by a terrible evil.
A young woman is discovered in a dungeon, where she has been abandoned and left to starve. Inextricably linked with Karus' own destiny, she may be the key to salvation, or worse, the instrument of destruction for the Ninth.
Cast adrift in a terrible war, Karus must find his way through the mysteries of this unfamiliar world, one filled with true magic, strange alien races, evil gods, and dragons. More importantly, Karus must discover his destiny and complete a desperate task set for him by a god of Rome. Should he fail, it will mean certain destruction for the Ninth, the triumph of evil, and the rise of a new order.
"For these I set no bounds in space or time; but have given empire without end."—Jupiter, Virgil's Aeneid.

Mr. Edelheit did an excellent job in bringing to life the men of the 9th. If is my firm belief that underneath culture and language people are pretty much the same creatures. In the novel I see guys that I know from my own 20 years in the US Army. One of my favorite comments to someone about people in ancient times is that .. I can see in my mind a Roman officer in charge of building an aqueduct with his hands on his hips .. staring in disbelief at one of the workmen with him saying something like ... "Remus .. you IDIOT!!! When the gods issued brains you must have been asleep .."
Good stuff. Looking forward to the next installment.
"I know these guys ..."

The world building is done well and doesn't rush the reader with new this and that but takes into consideration the ideas of what would be uniform across any culture, be it fantasy or real and then adds enough to let your imagination paint it beautifully in your mind.
There was a part where it became slightly hard to follow, primarily in the beginning between the two mages, but it passes quick enough. the convos between the characters is good and brings you closer to them as people instead of exposition.
Give this a listen! you won't regret it!
