When in Rome ebook

$5.99

US Marine Travis McKinney is sent back in time to Ancient Rome by Marty, a mischievous immortal being who's bored to death by a monotonous eternity. Marty entertains himself by sending people back in time to rewrite history, giving him new stories to watch, and thus something to do. Marty sends Travis McKinney back to 59 BC to play his game. Marty's goal is to have Travis save Julius Caesar from assassination so he can see how history will then unravel. But there's one problem - Travis has no idea who that is. However, Marty finds Travis' lack of historical knowledge hilarious and decides to send him in blind, with no idea about the new world he has stumbled into. Travis quickly finds himself enslaved until his fortunes change drastically. He meets Atia, Caesar's niece, and the two quickly fall for one another after she buys him at a slave auction. But to be together, he can't be a slave; he has to become an aristocrat. So, Atia devises a plan to conjure a fake identity for Travis, declaring him to be a 'new man' from Hispania. She comes up with the first name Titus, and he invents the surname Maximus due to his love of Russell Crowe's performance in Gladiator. And with that, 'Titus Maximus' is born. Travis then meets Caesar before he begins his unexpected and swift rise to power. But suddenly, Travis is faced with a problem. If someone discovers his true identity, that he is a slave pretending to be an aristocrat, he learns that he will likely be crucified. Unfortunately, one man uncovers that Travis is an impostor. What follows is a battle for family, romance, buddies, survival, and the world's future. Luckily, Travis listens to a bit of old wisdom that proves very helpful: 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do.'
