[Praetorian Series 01] • The Last Roman

As war consumes the nations of our world in the year 2021, Navy SEAL Jacob

Hunter is sent on a mission to Syria to apprehend a crazed terrorist leader

armed with dangerous biological weapons. It’s a routine mission for a man who

has spent the entirety of his military career fighting in what many have

dubbed World War III, but his life is about to become everything but

predictable.

As their mission unravels around them, Hunter discovers a curious trinket that

belies all rationality and our understanding of the universe, but he is drawn

to it nonetheless, bewildered by its uniqueness. Unable to control his urges,

Hunter touches it, and in a flash of brilliant light and intense pain, the

team is no longer in contemporary Syria – but in Ancient Rome during the reign

of the emperor Caligula.

They stand dumbfounded, unable to comprehend the paradox they’ve created, but

the bleak truth of reality soon overtakes their disbelief. The fact that they

should not be there becomes obvious almost immediately, as does the thought

that with every breath they take, everything history has worked so hard to

achieve is at risk of unraveling. Staying alive suddenly becomes a secondary

objective, superseded by the theory that their mere presence in Ancient Rome

has caused irreparable damage to the timeline.

This won't be an easy task for Hunter and his friends as they will quickly

encounter numerous Roman figures straight from his old history books, each

with their own agendas, schemes and machinations, including the Caesar

himself, who history remembers as little more than an insane tyrant who once

tried to appoint his horse as the head of state…
