Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Hail! Cæsar Emperor, the starving salute thee!”1 and the speaker made a military salute to a silver coin, evidently brand-new from the mint (which did not seem, by the way, to turn out very good work), and bearing the superscription, “Gratianus Cæsar Imperator Felicissimus.” He was a soldier of middle age, whose jovial face did not show any sign of the fate which he professed to have so narrowly escaped, and formed one of a group which was lounging about the Quæstorium, or, as we may put it, the paymaster's office of the camp at the head of the Great Harbour.2 [pg 2]A very curious medley of nationalities was that group. There were Gauls; there were Germans from the Rhine bank, some of them of the pure Teuton type, with fair complexions, bright blue eyes, and reddish golden hair, and remarkably tall of stature, others showing an admixture of the Celtic blood of their Gallic neighbours in their dark hair and hazel eyes; there were swarthy Spaniards, fierce-looking men from the Eastern Adriatic, showing some signs of Greek parentage in their regular features and graceful figures; there were two or three who seemed to have an admixture of Asian or even African blood in them; it might be said, in fact, there were representatives of every province of the Empire, Italy only excepted. They had been just receiving their pay, long in arrear, and now considerably short of the proper amount, and containing not a few coins which the receivers seemed to think of doubtful value.

With barbarian tribes on its frontiers, the Roman army has to enlist former enemies, no matter the cost. Will Britannia ever regain peaceful prosperity? The Great Conspiracy: In the fourth century AD, Britannia is under attack by barbarians and lurches towards inevitable doom. Leo and Valdor, grandson and great-grandson of a famous warrior, are rising in rank against the Picts and Scots. Valdor finally gets his chance for promotion after helping the usurper, Magnus Maximus, in his campaign against the Western Emperor. But as the province is left exposed to barbarian incursions, will Valdor become just another local chieftain amid the anarchy left by the Romans? The Woken Talisman: An officer of sub-Roman Britain, Valdor accepts the kingship of Logres, meets Myrddin, and changes his name to Arthur. He's preparing for the battle of Mons Badonicus which, according to the seer, will usher in a golden age for the Britons. Arthur is ‘the past and future king’, but what does the future hold for him?

Book excerpt: "COUNT OF THE SAXON SHORE" was a title bestowed by Maximian (colleague of Diocletian in the Empire from 286 to 305 A.D.) on the officer whose task it was to protect the coasts of Britain and Gaul from the attacks of the Saxon pirates. It appears to have existed down to the abandonment of Britain by the Romans.So little is known from history about the last years of the Roman occupation that the writer of fiction has almost a free hand. In this story a novel, but, it is hoped, not an improbable, view is taken in an important event--the withdrawl of the legions. This is commonly assigned to the year 410, when the Emperor Honorius formally withdrew the Imperial protection from Britain. But the usurper Constantine had actually removed the British army two years before; and, as he was busied with the conquest of Gaul and Spain for a considerable time after, it is not likely that they were ever sent back.
