Publisher's summary

An empire in the balance.

War has come to the continent, and Lieutenant Commander Ky, a test pilot from the far future and Consul of the Britannic Empire, leads armies scattered across Germania and Hispania to liberate them from Carthaginian rule. The Carthaginians, however, refuse to surrender without a fight. Led by a seasoned commander, new armies with weapons from the Far East are sent to counter the Britannians, with the entirety of Europe as the ultimate prize.

Meanwhile, in Britannia, Lucilla faces her own obstacles as she grapples with the challenges of leading her people after her father's death. She must find the resources for their legions to fight while facing forces conspiring to undermine her rule, sowing seeds of dissent that threaten to unravel the empire from within.

Will the fledgling Britannians free the continent from Carthaginian power or will they be reduced to a footnote of history?

Outstanding Return to Form!

My last review requested less talking and more action. I’m pretty sure that Travis Starnes didn’t even see it before releasing The Fires of Vulcan, but he knocked it out of the park.
I’m hooked. More please!

The structure of it and you could see it in your mind's eye rather easily because the writer makes a good job of it.

I could see that the story was well thought out was great yeah and the fact that I'm European I understand where they're going what most of this plus was well written

Perfect series for Historical Fiction Fans

Massive "What If" played out on a global scale. Follows the Romans as they try to rebound after losing the Punic Wars in an alternate timeline. Age of Empire fans, this is the rebuilding and advancement of a civilization on audiobook... enjoy!!

Outstanding Inovating Mix of Sci-Fi Genres!

While there are many time-travel along with alternate history plots that have been increasingly appearing within the wide Science Fiction category, Imperium represents one of the most unique combinations of the existing genres:
- A protagonist from our distant future
- Time travel to deep antiquity
- Arrival within an alternative world of the infinite Multiverse.
BRAVO!

Rome is now Britannia!

This is awesome. Give us more! Give us a spin off where Brittanians go to America and expand their influence there or perhaps Africa.
