What if Rome never fell? What would it be like with modern technology set against Byzantine mores? A thought provoking and really good read.
A world where Rome never fell. A good "what if" story.
Highly recommended, another great "what if??" novel; Harry Turtledove is terrific.
This was an enjoyable romp through alternative history. Each chapter is a different adventure experienced by the hero. Each adventure takes him from one end of the Roman Empire to the other as he steadily rises in his profession---agent provocateur in defense of the Empire.
