Book excerpt: In Harry Turtledove's The Gladiator, the Soviet Union won the Cold War. The Russians were a little smarter than they were in our own world, and the United States was a little dumber and a lot less resolute. Now, more than a century later, the world's gone Communist, and capitalism is a bad word. For Gianfranco and his friend Annarita, a couple of teenagers growing up in Milan, life in a heavily regimented, surveillance-rich command economy is just plain dreary. The eventual withering-away of the state doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon. Annarita's a hard-working student and a member of the Young Socialists' League. Gianfranco is a lot less motivated--but on the other hand, his father's a Party apparatchik. The biggest excitement in their lives is a wargame shop called The Gladiator, which runs tournaments, and stocks marvelous complex games you can't find anywhere else. Then, abruptly, the shop is shut down. Someone's figured out that The Gladiator's games are teaching counterrevolutionary capitalist principles. The Security Police are searching high and low for the shop's proprietors, who've not only vanished into thin air, but have left behind sets of fingerprints that aren't in the records of any government on earth. Only one staffer is left: Gianfranco and Annarita's friend Eduardo. He's on the run, and he comes to them in secret with an astonishing story: he's a time trader from our own timeline, accidentally left behind when the store was evacuated. The only way Eduardo can get home to his own timeline is if Gianfranco and Annarita can help him reach one of the other time trader sites in this world--and the Security Police will be on their tails all the way there. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book excerpt: Steven Saylor's Roma Sub Rosa series of novels, set in the late Roman Republic and featuring Gordianus the Finder, has garnered unusual acclaim from readers and reviewers alike, establishing him as one of the pre-eminent historical crime writers. In A Gladiator Dies Only Once, the second collection of his award-winning stories featuring Gordianus, Saylor more than meets his own high standards. Set during period between the events of his novels Roman Blood and Catalina's Riddle, these previously untold adventures range from twisted search for truth behind a threatening blind item in the Acta Diurna ("The Consul's Wife") and a kidnapping and murder during the revolt of Sertorius ("The White Fawn") to the story behind Cicero's discovery of Archimedes's tomb ("Archimedes Tomb") and a perplexing domestic situation in Gordianus's own home ("If a Cyclops Could Vanish in a Glimpse of an Eye.") These tales from the early career of Gordianus - when his adopted son Eco was still a mute boy and his wife Bethesda was but his slave - will delight Saylor's many fans while illuminating the details of the ancient world like no other writer can.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fictional character is created as an example, and he is meant to demonstrate a man that runs away from his calling only to find that his chief purpose in life was to fulfill his calling, serving the Maker and trusting Him always. An immortal from 480 BC is resurrected by the Creator after an arrow pierces his heart. His job is to fight against the Prince of the Air and the principalities disguised as the mythological gods, the shadow forces, portrayers of light, and criminals. This historical fiction travels through 480 BC to 800 AD. His powers are not his own, for they are gifted from the Creator, and they will be dulled if he refuses or turns away, yet the Creator knows that he is going to make the right decision all along. Sparticus meets many, including Leonidas, Alcibiades, heroes, Alexander the Great, Spartacus, and Julius Caesar. During this compelling story, he loses his wife, his children are scattered, and his nation is torn apart. Afterward, he runs from his mission for so long that he finally decides that there is no running from a deity that created him, the world, and the entire universe. Escaping an omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent being proves to be impossible! Hence, a turning point was the capture in Rome where he witnessed much and had seen one event that illuminated his mind; thus, he submits to the grand authority to take up the cost and faces off with his predetermined path around 800 AD taking on his first villain. At the end of the day, this is a Christian hero dealing with adult issues. An imperfect man is saved by that same omnipotent deity undergoing a process where he struggles with his own selfishness before fully accepting the cost of the "Great Commission."
