Description
In 2013, Sgt Benjamin Ried served with the Australian Army in Afghanistan. In September 2014, a disillusioned Ried drove through Western Queensland toward another new job.
Then after an incident, Ried discovers he is over two hundred kilometers northeast of his last location, near the Kingaroy region in 2021.
“This is all wrong."
“What is?” Abbey asked.
“Everything,” Ried replied. “Wild nomads, modern-day Romans with guns, swords, and motorbikes.” He gestured outside. “Deserted farms left to rot, roads and bridges in ruin...” He turned and slumped against the window frame. “It’s just wrong. The whole bloody lot of it.”
Can Ried draw on his past military skills and learn the diplomacy of Gladius and carbine in an alternate Australia, decades after an apocalyptic war. A world now governed by the Roman Galactic Empire and rife with conspiracy, betrayal, and corruption.
Will Ried survive to keep, himself and allies, safe from new and different enemies? All with one desire; Ried' extermination.
Advance Praise
(The following is used with permission) I thought the storyline was wonderful and became very invested in the world, the science, the alien race, the characters, the changed culture, and so on. It was a fun idea and a well-thought-out world. The story is filled with some cool elements and great one-liners.
There is a perfect array of characters and I love that it was set in Australia. Not nearly enough fiction is set in this country, even though it makes such a fantastic setting! I am especially impressed with the way you created multiple “bad guys” with varying personalities, agendas, and threat levels.
